Maddy's Movie

Lunch with the Girls

This Friday, Maddy had a lunch date with some of her new friends, my old UPJ buddies Carolyn and Lisa plus Lisa's new baby Livvy (born just three days after Maddy). We had to laugh at how the new moms and babies had on matching colors/outfits. I guess us Virgos are just very coordinated! Little Madelyn was very sweet during our visit, keeping her pretty wide eyes on everyone the whole time but without making hardly a peep!

Six Weeks: Maddy McSmiley!

Now six weeks old, Maddy has graced us with her beautiful smile! Here she is giggling at mommy in the morning and smiling away on a gorgeous day at Indian Lake. She just loves to feel the warm sunshine on her face and the cool breeze blow through her toes!

Big Girls Don't Cry

Now that Maddy is getting a full three ounces per feeding, she is really packing on the pounds--and shedding fewer tears! Her 6-8 hour crying jags are altogether gone and she is now up to a hearty 9 pounds, 2 ounces. Stretching out to nearly 22 inches, she is also in the 75 percentile for height. Here she is enjoying a long meal with her daddy and doing some other new "big girl" things, like gazing at the objects on her mobile and swinging away at her toys.

"Madd" Hatter

Maddy has received quite a few lovely new hats recently. Here she is modeling some of this season's finest in baby head wear. . . of course, some of these will take a little while to grow into!

One Month Stretch!

Last Monday marked Maddy's One Month Birthday! She celebrated the day by going for a long walk on a beautiful autumn day and, as always, exploring her new-found friends: her voice, fingers, arms, legs and toes. Here she is starting the day with a big stretch to show everyone how loooong she is growing. A couple of her other one-month favorites include: milk (correction: LOTS of milk!), car rides, stroller rides, shopping carts, bouncy chairs, grandma's house, pappy's rocks, fresh air, sunshine, daddy's arms and mommy's voice.

A Fun Fall Weekend

Maddy enjoyed her first taste of fall this weekend with a stroll through Oak Hallow Park (Lucy dog proudly led the way through "her" park) and a visit from her Pocono friends, Erin and Greg. She did not don her Steelers jersey this Sunday night, however, because Grammy had given her a bath and she was just too darn cozy to get changed out of her footsy PJs. Maybe next week, she says. :0)
