Back at Home


Here Mommy wants to take a nap, but Maddie just wants to wiggle around!

Maddie slept for four hours between feedings last night (10pm - 2am), then a three hour stretch (2am - 5am), after which she didn't want to go back to sleep. She was awake most of the morning, with a few short naps, but waited until the afternoon to really sleep again. She is more alert, sometimes crying just because she wants to hang out on her blanket and look around (as opposed to wanting to be held). This is a new thing for us - now when she cries she may be hungry, wants to be held in a different way, has a little "bubble" in her tummy that needs to come out, OR wants to be put down to wiggle around on the ground. She's getting stronger too. During tummy time today she pushed herself up on her arms holding her head up for awhile.
Tomorrow we have her one month doctor's appointment so we'll see how much weight she has gained and how tall she is! She still can't fit into any of her 0-3 month clothes. The only outfits she can wear are her Carter's newborn sleepers - Mommy and Daddy bought her three more when they had a "date" on Saturday while Grandma watched Maddie. It was their first "date" since she joined our family.
