"Making Memories of Us": 2 Weeks

"Auntie caught my smile"

Wow, Madelyn has already been with us for 2 weeks. I do believe the 12 weeks I have off is going to fly by and before I know it, she will be walking and talking! We go to the doctor tomorrow for our check-up and I will post more then, but wanted to get a few pics up today for all of those dedicated fans waiting to see more pictures ;-)

Jessica joined us on Saturday for a two week visit. Maddy handled her first trip to the airport rather well - although we were a bit late and Auntie was starting to worry. To our defense, she landed early and Customs took 2 hours for mom in June - apparently Jess flew through it in minutes. We also found Auntie to be sick with a nasty cold. She has amused us with her hand washing, hand sanitizer, and blue mask (see photo). Guess it is good to have an Aunt in the medical field when she's sick and visiting an infant.

Today, we went to Shaye's shop for a potluck. It was a small gathering, but nice to catch up with everyone and they all enjoyed some "Maddy time". We spent most of the weekend recovering from sleepless nights and Jess being jet-lagged, but hopefully will do something exciting for a least a couple of the days that she is here.

Aside from getting the house ready for Jess, a few visits and dinners from friends, the rest of the week was pretty quiet. I am learning to deal with a lack of sleep and Shaye is getting along at work with his inspection going really well for him last week.

We have discovered that Madelyn loves her hands up by her face!

We believe she may be saying, "woe is me" or "what are they doing now?"

I personally feel it shows her dramatic side :-)
