One Month Old

Madison is growing quickly as she passes the one month mark. We had a weight check this Thursday and she was 8 pounds and 21 inches long. She is really growing in leaps and bounds. The average weight gain at this age is 1/2 ounce per day, and she is nearly doubling that rate.

She is starting to give us smiles in response to our actions. We haven't caught any on film yet, but it sure is fun to interact with her that way.

Madi got us both in one day last Tuesday. After her morning feeding, she threw up all over me and herself. While changing her clothes she threw up again, covering the changing table. Later that afternoon while Brandon was changing her diaper, she splattered his arm and pants with poop. Oh the joys :).

On Thursday we tried to get some poised baby pictures, here are best of the bunch.

Madison is quite the cuddlebug, she loves to be right there with us. And we sure love every minute of her cuddling. I know I will miss these days when she is too busy to cuddle with us.

Somehow we managed to not get pictures of her first Easter. She turned one month old on Easter Suinday. We had Easter dinner at my Grandma Hitt's house. Brandon's family joined us and we had a wonderful time. Next Easter will be quite the change as we will get to have an Easter egg hunt, decorate eggs, and all of the fun traditions that go along with the holiday.

Well I better head downstairs. Our parents just came over to play shuffleboard on the table Brandon and my dad built this last week.
