Another Good Day!!

We had another good day. She actually stayed awake the majority of the afternoon today. She played in her swing, her bouncer & on the floor with her big sister. Still not taking to the pacifier very well, we are going to try a new type and see if it helps. We are also having a hard time laying her down once she is asleep, so we will keep on working on that too. I try to lay her down before she goes to sleep & it is the same outcome. She has really taken to her bouncer, so she may be getting some more sleep time in it, I guess it is the vibration.

1st Dr. Appointment

We had our first Doctor's appointment today! She is up to 7 lbs 10 ozs & is 21 inches long. She has gained 10 oz since we left the hospital and 1/4 of an inch since she was born. She's done some growing in her short life. Dr. Ski said she looked great & to continue what we are doing.

One Week Old

Picture is worth a thousand words

If I could pick one word to describe our beautiful new baby girl, it would have to be sleeper! Most of her day is spent sleeping, but I am not complaining because she could be fussing. She is a very laid back easy going baby so far. She is a pretty good eater, but would prefer just to sleep. We usually have to wake her up to feed her. It was a great first week. I had wonderful help: Thanks Mom & Tracy, Love you!

I am so very blessed. I have two beautiful daughters & a wonderful husband - what more could a woman ask for.

Proud Big Sister

Madyson is a great big sister! She is the best helper. Great diaper changer. She is very sweet & protective of her baby sister. We were worried about how she would handle not being the center of attention anymore, but she has done great.
