Madelynn Brielle

She arrived on April 27, 2010 at 12:29pm measuring 19 inches & weighing in at 7lbs 2 ounces.

She was 1 ounce smaller than Nate & Kassie & 4 ounces bigger than Abbie. She's our only baby born in the pm. She was born with lots of dark hair. She is a mild and content little one, who started smiling from day 1 or so it seems. She lost quite a bit of weight at the beginning, at one point gaining a few ounces then losing almost a whole pound. I've had to make some compromises I'm still not sure I'm ready to make, like having to supplement with formula when I was able to nurse the other 3 for the first year. That may be an entry for another day, maybe....

She's doing well & thriving. We love having her in our family & all the kids love loving on her.

And now for the pictures:

I hate these pictures they are so un-flattering!

The best big brother for 3 little sisters that there ever was!

I am so grateful for 4 healthy children who love each other, for the most part get along well with each other, bring me unmeasurable joy & bless my life each & every day!
