It's hard to believe Madeline Emma has been here for 2 months already, yet it's hard to imagine life before our family of 4. She is such a joy... smiling and cooing so much now. She really brightens our lives. Connor and Daddy often get the best smiles from her and she seems just on the verge of laughter. She's still a pretty content baby... She nurses well, usually around 8 times a day. We try to give her a bottle once every few days just to keep her willing to take it. She's sleeping well at night, usually falling asleep around 8pm and sleeping until 2 or 3am and then sleeping again until 6am. She sleeps in a cradle right by our bed, but she's a quiet sleeper for the most part so it's not too bothersome. I feel very blessed to be getting a little sleep. Connor is still an amazing big brother... helpful, loving, patient. He just adores Madeline and wants to protect her and make her happy.
We had Maddie's 2 month appt on 3/8/2012. She weighed 11lbs. 1oz and was 21.5 inches long. She's perfectly healthy and growing like a champ! The only issues noted were some dry areas on her skin including cradle cap and a plugged tear duct on her right eye. Minor issues that will clear up quickly! We are so blessed!
