Maddie's First Month Birthday

On May 18th, Maddie was officially 1 month old!  We spent the afternoon at the park, enjoying BB's poboys.  It was Maddie's first trip to the park, and she loved being outdoors.  Luckily, we found a nice spot under a tree, so it wasn't too hot.

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was wonderful!  Maddie and Randy made me breakfast in bed that morning.  It was delicious!  Then Maddie and I watched Baby Einstein together until she took her nap.  It was such a great day!

Madison's First Two Weeks at Home..

We have officially been home almost two weeks, and it has been amazing! Maddie has been an angel! At her two week check up, she was 8lbs and 20 3/4 inches long. Doctor Koush said Maddie is doing great! 

DURING THE LAST TWO WEEKS...

She enjoyed taking naps on Daddy...

She had several visitors....including Aunt Amanda and Addison, Katie and Billy, Kara, Linley and Collin, Jessica, Lauren, and:

Rachel

Stephanie

Courtney

Bridget

 

Ashley

Meghann

Amy

She met more of her cousins...

Maddie with Liam, Ashlynn, and Celeste

And even Ginger started to warm up to Maddie...

Maddie went on her first stroller ride...



She lost her umbilical cord within the first few days home and "enjoyed" her first "real" bath...

She had her newborn pictures taken...

**NOTE - Right before this picture was taken, Maddie definitely projectile pooped on Mommy...about a foot distance...talk about memorable! :)

She enjoyed her first "outing" in public...

It has been a very busy first two weeks for Miss Maddie. And at the end of each long day, she enjoyed stretching out for a "long" nap, kicking back her hands like her Daddy, and simply relaxing!











Madison's First Day Home

On Sunday, April 22, 2012, we were finally able/ready to bring Madison home!  Before we left, Daddy and Maddie decided to see what it was like sleeping in Mommy's hospital bed.

After getting all of the "okays" from the many different doctors, we were finally ready to leave.  Daddy packed the car up with all of the flowers, suitcases, etc., and Mommy was rolled out of the hospital, carrying Madison.  Madison had to have her "Lo-Jack" removed before we could officially leave the building.

When we got home, Gigi, Daddygrand, Mimi, and Uncle Brian came over to welcome Madison home. 

We all enjoyed Uncle Brandon and "Aunt" Jenna's cookie bouquet for dessert!

After a long day, Madison went to sleep for the very first time in her very own bassinet.  But don't worry, she got up several times that night because she wasn't ready for the party to end!
