Jet lag…what jet lag? Where has the time gone. We have been home four days now and have slept a good portion of it. I am feeling better from the cold I caught the last couple of days in China and Crystal is sleepy, so she is back to normal. Madeline is adjusting. Everyday she does more and more new things, and she talks more and more. We have taken a few pictures of her exploring her new surroundings and getting used to her new home. She is crawling really well and is starting to follows us around the house. She and Abby our dog met on Thursday. Abby was really excited to see her and wanted to give her kisses. This scared Madeline some so we were keeping a close eye them both for most of Thursday. Since then this has not been a problem. Abby still wants to kiss her however she minds well and leaves Madeline alone when we tell her too. The first night was interesting. Madeline has been sleeping in our room in a Pack-N-Play, so Abby stood guard on our bed staring at her all night. This has gone on every night since. Madeline is sleeping well through the night. She has only been waking up once each night. We give her a bottle and she goes back to sleep. We are gradually getting into a routine for sleeping and eating which seems to be going well for all of us. A baby’s life.
Madeline’s doctors appointment went well on Friday. No pokes this time. Blood draws and other tests will be done next week. She weighs 17 pounds which we understand is in the 5th percentile. Her height is in the 25th percentile and her head circumference is in the 50th percentile. Hopefully she is not like her Dad, if she was, then as much as she has been pooping her head would be a lot smaller today. The poop thing has not bothered me so much since I have been following Abby around the neighborhood picking up her poop. In fact Crystal has only had to change two poopy diapers. How about them apples.
Abby took us all out for a stroll around the neighborhood this evening, Madeline got to use her stroller. We are not sure if this was fun for her or not as she fell asleep. We met some of our neighbors on the walk and introduced Madeline. We have plans with our neighbor’s across the street tomorrow to met their son Braeden who is around 3 months old and only a couple of pounds lighter than Madeline.
Other than that not much has been going on. We have had some visitors and want to apologize for not being more sociable. Thank you all for the food and support.
