Maddie's first month!

Well here is an official blog for Miss Maddie!  We'll try to keep it updated every so often, but here's a fabulously random photo montage of Madelyn's first six weeks of life.  :)  Happy 6 weeks my sweet girl!!!  

Madelyn Sophia Lily
Born February 23, 2012 at 2:57pm
8 lb 6.6 oz
20.5 inches


Pretty baby in the hospital!!!  
Nana was in the waiting room with Grammie and Gramps and was able to hold Maddie really soon after her arrival!!!  
Sleepy Daddy....we had a long and exciting day!!!!  
Madelyn's first bedtime story outside of the womb.   
It was such a blessing to have Grammie and Gramps at the hospital with us, with the Dashiell clan popping in and out between work and home!  
Snuggle time with Mommy.  :)
 We love Aunt Carol!  
Sierra was so excited to meet Madelyn!  Madelyn will probably be more impressed down the road...
Scrunchy face.  
Car ride home!  The straps kept trying to fall off her shoulders and made her mommy very nervous.  
Testing Daddy's nose for edibility...unfortunately, it routinely fails this test.  
That 1/4 Japanese ninja strikes again...hand out of swaddle!!!!  Mostly she loves loves loves her swaddle and gets calm as soon as she's in it, but as her nervous system is still underdeveloped and her arms randomly move around, sometimes she wiggles out!!!  

Pondering...milk?  
Delicious thumb.  :)  She doesn't ever manage to keep it in her mouth for very long when she actually gets it in there, but she seems happy for the few minutes it hangs out in her mouth.  
 Family snuggle time...silly parent wanted to snuggle instead of provide breakfast!  
 Delicious Daddy finger!  Note the death grip so he doesn't attempt to reclaim it...
Pretty girl!   
Sleep sheep is our friend.  These shushing sounds work like gangbusters to make a girlie very very happy.   
 Once again, the ninja skills at work here....finger in mouth while enjoying some food!  
 Gorgeous sleeping girl.  
 Punching dance?  Awesome onesie made by our friend Megan!  
 Baby burrito and happy daddy!!!!  
 This girl has some gorgeous eyes!!!  Hoping they'll stay this color.  :)  Pretty sure there's some serious sky gazing going on here...little miss looooves her sky and enjoys taking an hour or so out of each morning to gaze at it in wonder, while Mommy does the same thing with her.  
Naptime in the co-sleeper in bed with Mommy and Daddy.  These outfits make her look like a caterpillar to us.  :)
Awesome t-shirt from Aunt Carol!!!   
Fantastic outfit that Nana put together for us!  Note the flower embroidery on her leg.   
Enjoying pi day with Aunt Carol.   
Maddie's other favorite thing to gaze at is her green ladybug lamp that's mounted over her changing table.  This thing can end a bad mood and make a girl super happy!!  Thanks for putting it up for us, Grandpa!!!!   
Best way in the world to stay warm!!!   
Some blurry snuggles with Mommy.   
Big day out, we went to the Arboretum on free entrance day!!!  Maddie loved the waterfalls of course, the shushing sound even beat out the sheep!!!  It was a lovely day and very exciting as we managed to feed a girl outside of our house for the first time!!!  
 We love Grammie and Gramps!!!!!  They came back down to visit us last week when Madelyn was 5 weeks old and babysat so Mommy and Daddy could have a date!!!  Mommy got halfway through the movie before she had to keep forcing herself to stop thinking about Maddie.  :)  
Afternoon snuggles after church and lunch.  :) 
Gotta practice holding this head up!!!   
Wearing our fabulous froggie shirt that Nana made for us!!!!   
Aunt Kathy sent us a fabulous lavender sun hat!!!  We look forward to using it this Saturday while we are watching Aunt Carol perform at the Renaissance Faire.   
Delicious, delicious fingers.   
Aunt Kathy came to visit us when Madelyn was 4 weeks old!!!  We all had a great time and Madelyn discovered that her thumb was delicious.   
Tiny bear outfit!!!!  Cousin Amber and Cousin Reanne picked this one out and it has been very popular with all of Maddie's fans.  :) 
Caterpillar time with Daddy!   
Just chillin'... 

This weekend's to do list: take a picture of Madelyn with her Grandpa!!!!  

Thanks for lasting til the end.  Maddie loves her fan club!!!
