Another quick (or long without pictures :) update. We made it! Although Madelyn was a SUPER STAR on the airplane, she barely slept. No matter, she stayed upbeat and handled it all well. Even was eager to greet all the new Grandma's waiting her and happily entertained them with her dramatic personality. However, I sit her at 0330, wondering... why on earth is she awake when she hasn't slept ALL day? Any ideas on battling baby jet lag? I'm open (Maureen, you must be an expert at this by now!) I'm not worried, as this is the first night, but would like to get it sorted so she is gem for everyone on our busy busy days ahead.
Oh, btw, finger foods are amazing! Madelyn is in love with the eating idea and we got quite a variety at good 'ol Target today.
She is showing off all her crawling skills (Funny story: She mastered her crawl on Thursday. Proper crawl - hands, knees, very orderly. She was SO crabby after her bath and saw a dog toy and was off! Shaye and I were both there to witness and looked at each other questioning what had just happened, as we then realized she was chewing on a dog toy :) Well this has a supper funny video, which I will hopefully post someday soon, as we continued to play "fetch" with my daughter [Sadly, I am admitting to this - we were just so excited to watch her crawl over and over and....]).
She smiles the biggest smile at everyone (after a moment to "check them out"), so much that tourists in Cambridge the other day were photographing my daughter - seriously?
Okay, I think that is about all for the updates and Madelyn is starting to tell me she is ready to try this "night night" thing again.
To all, be well. Oh, say an extra prayer for my grandpa, Maddy's great-grandpa, as he battles healing from a recent shoulder surgery. He unfortunately had a set-back the other day and is using the assistance from a respiratory. Although he is getting better, we would love to have him healthy and home very soon!
Love,
Jody, Shaye, Madelyn, and Daisy (away in puppy jail, but loving her daily walks I'm sure)

yay for crawling! fingers crossed that ava is going in a forward motion by the time curt gets here. she's started to scoot around on her butt instead of her knees. what the heck?!?!
i wouldn't stress too much about the jetlag b/c honestly, she just has to work it out over the next couple days. ava didn't get really crabby until about 2-3 days into the trip when she was totally out of wack, but then eventually it comes together b/c you will be doing things on US time and they really don't have a choice but to stay up "late". (it'll be all good, just in time for you to hop back on a plane to the UK and do it all of again! good times!) :) have so much fun at home!!!
