Madelyn Jewel

It's hard to believe that our sweet girl is 7 weeks old. She has grown and changed so much...here are a few things about her now.

- is such a happy baby!
- likes to talk to herself and us
- will sleep 6 hours at night typically, although I think shes' going through a growth spurt, because she's been eating like crazy and slept 8 hours last night (well, I heard her at 2:30 talking to herself but then she went back to sleep)
- has great head control and loves to look around when we're holding her
- still has lots of funny faces...although my new favorite besides the "oh" face is when she gets mad & pouts...and it's cute when she stretches too...ok, so we just have a cute baby!
- always wants to eat when we do...great when she's older, now, not so much
- is super long! Poor baby is going to be tall...
- hates to nap during the day. I feel accomplished that she's taking a nap in her crib right now instead of on me or in the swing or bouncer or carseat
- doesn't spit up nearly as much now
- her eyes are getting to be a little lighter blue, but not much
- still gets hiccups, but not as much, and they don't make her spit up as much now either
- may be allergic to Huggies...looking into that. It seems like she only gets a diaper rash when we use them, and when we stop, it goes away...any thoughts?
- likes her swing, which means we are probably going to have to get a new one because the one we have doesn't exactly work...

Otherwise, I met our neighbors for the first time today. They had been gone since we moved in. Well, sounds like I have a fussy baby...

Both, Huggies wipes and diapers broke Ariana out TERRIBLY! Pampers were great, so are the CVS brand name and Playscool diapers...Luvs great on Felicity and a nightmare for Ariana. Good luck!

P.S. after next week (finals, projects, craziness, etc.) We will need to get together!

Ihave some cvs brand size ones if you want them. We are having to move Corban to a size 2. Ihate huggies wipes and diapers... lets just say they DO NOT work on boys... and the wipes tear on me. I love the pampers wipes. For diapers we like pampers and luvs work just as good on him.

How about either the 27th or 28th? This week is totally crazy with finals and high stakes assessements due. I am also available on the 24th but only at my house because I will have Connor, Lindsay's baby, for the morning time. Let me know what is best for you: date, time, and where you want to meet.

Ok, so the 27th is out for you...and I forgot that I have a WIC appointment on the 28th. So, how about the 24th, this Friday? I will have to do it here since I have Connor..but the girls will be able to play outside and the babies can play inside--right?! (: Plus, I will have all the baby stuff out for him, so you don't have to worry about a bouncer. I'll have mine down as well as other things. Let me know...

How about between 8:30-9:00am?
