Last week was full of firsts for Ms. Madelyn Paige. She found her thumb for the first time. Of course, it went right in her mouth. Although she was using it to soothe herself, she has not found it again. Thank goodness! She took her first road trip to grandma and grandpa's house in VA. Maddie did quite well...sleeping most of the time. Alex, on the other hand, only slept an hour or less and needed to be entertained the rest of the trip. She met her Auntie Lindsay for the first time who has already spoiled her and is loving her to death! Maddie also got her first professional pictures taken. She was a very happy and adorable baby during the whole thing. We are so proud of her! Alex had to have his pacifier during his first pictures at 6 weeks old.
But the most important one of all...Maddie slept in her crib for the first time on Monday night. Shawn, Maddie, and myself had been cramped in a small bedroom while staying with my parents and felt it was definitely time for Maddie to sleep somewhere else. We are extremely happy to report that she is sleeping well for 5-7 hours at a time and we are sleeping much better as well! Yes, we do realize that we are very lucky parents at the moment. Alex never slept this well for us. Of course, we still have a night or so that she doesn't comply but at least, she's trying to keep mommy and daddy less sleep deprived.
Maddie has experienced a lot of firsts this past week. Along with her have been two very proud parents and a big brother who still acts like it's no big deal. Now if we could only remember to record these moments. It was so much easier to remember these things with just one.
