Reaching out

Today Maddy was lying on her back in her play yard and was complete intrigued by the giraffe that was hanging from one of the hoops. She cooed and ahhed and kicked and played. She even reached up for it and batted at it. Woo hoooo!!!

She's done that a few more times since then with other objects. What a great thing to see.

Reagan and Maddy

I took some pics of Maddy today in a similar way as I did Reagan about this time (7-8 weeks). Reagan was definetly a chubbier baby. But Reagan was born 9 days late and Maddy came 9 days early. I guess I'd have to wait a few more weeks to do the comparison again to see. :)

Whaddayathink?

Hair growing back

Maddys hair is finally growing back on. When she was born, she had a full head of hair. It was short, but it was there. In a couple of weeks, she was "balding". She lost all the hair on the top of her head - just like her daddy. :)

In the last few days, I've noticed that she's getting some peach fuzz in that area. Whoo hoo.

I read in my book last night that kids that have blonde and red hair often shed their hair before birth. Those with dark hair tend to shed their hair after their born a few weeks. I found that very interesting. Maddy fit that... Reagan didn't. :)

Christmas season 2010

We put up our tree last night with the help of the two older girls. Actually, both trees. We put the big one in the basement this year. We decided to have a cozy Christmas instead of putting the tree in the main area. I like it much better. The girls did a good job putting the ornaments on. They, of course, argued about where to put ornaments. I thought it was funny. :)

We also took Reagan to her first Christmas program at the church. It was about 90 minutes of singing. She didn't pay any attention. She played on the iPod the entire time. Ooops. At least she was good.

Did too much

I did too much today. I met Lisa and Susan for lunch at Ingredients downtown today. Because the Westin garage was full, I had to park at Fountain Square. Ugh. I didn't use my stroller, I decided to just carry the carseat across the Square. Bad idea.

At first, I didn't think it was a big deal. I'm sitting here typing and my stomach muscles are having spasms. Nice. Oh well. Lesson learned.

Obsessed with Spoons

Reagan, for some time now, will get upset if she can't have multiple spoons whenever she sits down to eat. Not only that, but it must be specific spoons with the color end that she wants. I haven't quite figured it out. It really annoys Jim and Reagan both. I think it's a pretty silly thing personally. It's an easy thing to let go. Ha! This morning, I gave her three spoons for breakfast without her asking. She got so excited when I told her that she ran over to her chair and giggled with glee. She was so happy.

Cooin' gets louder, she gets more mobile

Tonight, Maddy cooed so loud I turned around. Jim was hanging with her on the floor in the basement and I was walking to my desk. She made such a loud "ahhhhhaaaa" noise that it shocked me. She was smiling so big when I went back to her. I wondered if she was calling me back to her. So darn cute.

She's also moving her legs and arms quite a bit more. While on her play yard, she grabbed her monkey that was dangling down. I don't think it was on purpose. I think it was a reflex, but she had a really strong grip on it. I loved it. She was kicking her legs and waving her arms around and cooin'. It was awesome to watch.
