6 Weeks Already!

Maddie turned 6 weeks old today! I can't believe that she is almost 2 months old now and that my maternity leave is half way over. Time is really going by quickly!

We couldn't have asked for a better check-up appointment today. Dr. Madden said she is doing perfectly and was happy with all of her stats. She now weighs 9 lbs, 6 ozs...up 2 lbs from her last appointment 4 weeks ago! She's also grown 2" and is 22" tall! Her height and weight both fall in between the 25th and 50th percentiles (so I guess around the 38th percentile?!) and her head circumference is in the 50th percentile so everything is right on track. She received her first series of immunization shots today too and was such a champ! She's been sleeping away most of the day and has been a cuddle bug, not wanting to sleep in her crib but on our chests instead. How can you say no to that when you look at a face as precious as hers?!

Papa Bob and Grandma Paula were in town this past week and we all had such a wonderful time! The visit went by way too quickly, but it was so neat to see them with Maddie and loving their role as grandparents! They were also a huge help to me in watching Maddie while I slept, showered or just took a moment for myself. Thank you both so much!

Here are a couple photos from the past week...Maddie is such a cutie pie! Her expression in the photo with Papa Bob and Grandma Paula just cracks us up!




Love you all!
Nile, David & Maddie
