You are my Sunshine

Sweet baby smiles in the morning.
Little cooes during the day.
Staring bright eyed at everything around her.
Little M. I love her so!

Happy 1 Month Little M!

Little M knows day from night.
She sleeps so well through the night.
She is very awake and alert.
She loves her swing.
She waves her hand to the motion of the swing.
She covers her face when sleeping at times.
She fights her sleep and has to be snuggled real close or everything turned on and in her swing.
She stares at whoever is talking to her.
She likes to be wrapped tight in a blanket with her arms free.
She makes little dinosaur/bird noises when she sleeps.

So Little...Yet Getting So Big!

On Daddy's arm.

Growing Like a Weed

Our little M is growing like a weed! I wish she would stop already. (PS- she doesn't really take a paci...it was our last resort attempt to calm her down in her seat because she doesn't always like it.) It has been 3 weeks since she has joined our little family and she had her second doctors appointment this week. Doctor says she is perfect (of course we agree). Recently she has started to get really fussy in the evening, usually between 7pm and 9pm. We mentioned this to the doctor because we try everything to calm her and nothing works. He is having us try something to help with acid-reflux if that turns out to be the problem and then he mentioned colic. We are hoping the acid-reflux drops work because there is nothing to help with colic. We'll see how it goes.

Here are her stats from her first doctors appointment and then for this weeks appointment:

August 22, 2011
Height- 19 1/2 inches = 50%
Weight- 8 lbs 1 oz = 75%

September 6, 2011
Height- 21 1/2 inches = 90%
Weight- 9lbs 5 oz = 75%

2 weeks old

Not much new to update on the little peapod. She is still sleeping through the night except for feedings and has her awake moments during the day. We have continued to have several visitors and friends bringing over dinner which has been a HUGE help. I knew having a c-section would make things difficult, I just don't think I realized how difficult. Matt was able to stay home for almost the whole first 2 weeks. I am so thankful for him and all of his patience and help.
Madelyn has found a new love for her swing. She takes naps in this when I need a nap myself or need to make myself breakfast or lunch and Matt is at work.
