YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!

Madelyn has had a very big day!! Last night, she slept through the entire night for the first time!! I was shocked when I woke up at 6:00 this morning and realized that I hadn't gotten up all night. I saw that the monitor was blinking (indicating sounds were coming from Maddie's room), so I calmly walked down the hallway to check on her. She was laying in her crib, happily sucking on her fingers. When she saw me a great big smile came across her face! It is so much fun having that kind of greeting in the morning.

I had a dentist appointment this morning, so my cousin Heather came over to babysit. Since, Maddie slept so good last night, I was hoping she would sleep through my appointment. No such luck for Heather. Evidently Maddie was a little fussy and poor Heather had to walk around the house bouncing her up and down for an hour. When I walked in the door after my appointment Maddie was half asleep in Heather's arms.

This afternoon Madelyn had her 2 month check-up with her pediatrician, Dr. Fuchs (pronounced Fox). Madelyn weighed 12 pounds 4 ounces (85th percentile)--no wonder my back has been hurting after carrying her. She is 22 3/4 inches tall (65th percentile) and has a head circumference of 15 3/8 inches (55th percentile). She received several vaccines today as well, so she was a little mad at me. All in all, she had to drink one vaccination and received 3 shots. She seems to be doing ok right now--she is asleep!
