Settling in...

Well, it's been just over two weeks that we have been home with our little girl. Certainly an adjustment having a little one around all the time! We have been blessed to have Kurt's mom staying and helping, I don't know what we'll do this next week when it's just us!

Madelyn seems to be a fairly good-natured baby. She doesn't seem to be overly fussy unless she is really hungry! Which she is quite frequently :) Maddie may have started out tiny, but she loves to eat and is nearly 8 lbs now...a very healthy weight gain the doctor says!!

My recovery has gone exceptionally well and we've been out and about quite a bit these last two weeks. Maddie celebrated her first holiday, The 4th of July, (she completely slept through all the fireworks) she's had a couple of play dates, and we've been on many walks, and in between all of that...she sleeps...a ton!

Here she is, enjoying her carseat and stroller. She loves the carseat, whether it's attached to the stroller or in the car!

Here Maddie is being introduced to her two little friends. Two of my closest friends here in Seattle are new moms as well. Kylia is over two months old and Mia is over four months old. I don't know if the girls are that thrilled to be seeing each other, but us moms are so excited to be having little girls all at the same time!!




And here she is, enjoying her favorite pastime...at least for now...sleeping!


Lastly, we had to include a picture of Madelyn with our other little family member...our beloved dog, Griffie. For those of you who know his crazy demeanor, he is actually taking Maddie's presence in the house very well!
