Maddie- One Month

 

Maddie,

Can you really be one month old??? You are already growing too fast :) It seems like you came into the world just last week.

We had a Dr's appointment for you last week, and you weighed 8 lbs 12 oz- up a lb since you were born. I can tell your face is getting chubbier already. You also had grown an inch in length.

You are still wearing newborn clothes, but I put you in a few 0-3 clothes even though they are a little big. You are wearing size 1 diapers. 

You eat 3 oz every 2-3 hours. You are sleeping pretty good at night. You usually sleep from 11-3:30, then from 3:30- 5 or 6. I put you in bed with us fairly often, I enjoy cuddling with you :)

You looked just like Gus when you were born, but you now look more like your own person! Your hair still looks a little brown.

You could hold your head up pretty well the day after you were born just like Gus. Daddy put you on your tummy when you were six days old and you rolled over to your back!!! You did it several more times, and he got it on video so people would believe him :)

You sometimes get mad when you want to be held or just in the evenings and you are quite the screamer. 

I have had so much fun with you already. I could sit and hold you all day long. 

Your brother loves you too. He asks about you and checks on you. He gives you hugs and kisses and gets your pacifier for you. Sometimes he tries to put it in your mouth and that doesn't go over very well.

Your Daddy loves to dance with you. I know that the two of you are going to have a special relationship. He's not sure how he could ever discipline his precious little girl. :) He also enjoys teaching you your numbers just like he did Gus.

You are beautiful 

I love you baby girl,

Mommy

My Wubbanub

Gus loved his wubbanub. He had a puppy first and then a giraffe. We ended up calling it his "puppy." 

Maddie loves hers too. She has the lamb. I still find myself calling it a "puppy." 

These are amazing inventions. Maddie could push hers back in her mouth only a few days after she was born.

These are a must have for new babies!!

Sorry I've been so behind. The one time I tried to blog it wouldn't let me load pictures. I'm still figuring out how to juggle two kids, but it's going good :)

Catching up

I have wanted to blog so many times, but I can't see to find a few minutes to get it done. I would rather sit and hold Maddie :) But, I don't want to forget things, so here are some iphone pictures I wanted to share of a few things that have been going on!

This is the morning I went to the hospital to have Maddie- I was so excited :)

Maddie meeting my parents- Big Daddy and MiMi:

Gus has some new houseshoes- they jingle too :)

My family on Thanksgiving- couldn't be more perfect!

MiMi brought a gingerbread house to make with Gus. We all had fun putting it together, and the candy sure tasted good

She often wins the battle and ends up sleeping in bed with us...

Maddie's first trip to our favorite Mexican food restaurant:

Gus is a good big brother keeping an eye on Maddie

Maddie's first trip to the mall!

Maddie's first bath- she actually liked it for a little while although you wouldn't know from this picture!

My grandparents came to visit. Maddie is quite bright-eyed to meet PawPaw.

Another trip to eat Mexican food, and I try to keep Gus entertained

My sister and her new little boy and my MawMaw

These first few weeks have been really good. Maddie isn't sleeping great, but she is doing better than Gus did. We have been so blessed. Josh had lots of time off from work and my mom was able to come stay with us too. Several friends have already brought us dinner, and we have dinners coming next week too!! It makes things so much easier for me not having to worry about cooking. I can spend more time cuddling my little girl, because I know she won't be little long. I'll try to get more on here soon. Life is good :)
