Week 6:

this week maddie went on her first walk with mommy. She loved all of the new sights, sounds and smells of the outdoors…. That is, until she fell asleep. She also had her first razorback game and was dressed in her rhinestone hogs onsie. She has started sleeping better at night. Her little eyes are following objects when things are put in front of her.

Week 5:

she is smiling all the time…….she is a very happy baby, especially when she wakes up in the morning. Maddie is holding her head up by herself this week. I’m sure that she already has so much to tell us because she is grunting and cooing a lot. She is also following objects with her eyes if you put something in front of her. We have started to swaddle her this week and she is a little whoodini. She had her first dinner with mommy and nite-nite at izzy’s.

Week 4:

happy 1 month birthday, maddie! well, we broke her of sleeping with us….she still hates the bassinet, so we put her in the pac n’ play. Maddie started grinning at us….her little smile makes you forget about all of the sleepless nights! We went to the dr. (she weighed in at 10lbs. 9ozs) and she said that maddie was colicky, and there is nothing to do for it but to wait it out….could be up to 3mos. We had our first family lunch outing…..chi’s Chinese.

Week 3:

Maddie starting fussing very badly in the night. It seemed to start in the evening around 5 or 6 (which they call it the witching hour). We had many nights where mommy and daddy would take turns rocking and trying to console from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. A lot of sleepless nights for us and baby.

Week 2:

we went back to the dr. and she had gained all of her weight back, so she was back to her birth weight. Her umbilical cord fell off, so we were finally able to give her a bath in the “big girl” bathtub. Maddie hated sleeping in the bassinet, so she was in the bed with mommy and daddy.

Week 1

maddie came into this world by c-section. It was very unexpected, but we were happy she was here. We were in the hospital for 4.5 days. She lost 1 lbs…..when we got home, maddie slept on my chest for the first couple of nights.
