Things we love about Madelyn - Day 9

      Welcoming Madelyn into our family has been a learning experience for us all. It's hard to imagine that our little girl is having to learn how to do everything new for the first time, and we are having to help her through all these changes while learning about her and our new roles as parents at the same time.

     I wanted to make a list of some things we're learning about Madelyn, and things we love about her. (OK - in reality we love EVERYTHING about the little peanut, but here's a short list. OH - and we realize these things are probably things all newborns do, but to us they are special because she does them.)

1. She makes these squeaky little sounds that resemble the sound of a bird.

2. She makes the sweetest little face when she's trying hard not to fall asleep - her eyebrows go up and her mouth opens into a little "o"

3. She keeps her arms up by her face, with her little shoulders scrunched up, where she probably held them throughout the pregnancy.

4. She smacks her little hands so loudly, especially when hungry.

5. She has a quick temper and her face turns beet red...and just look at that furrowed brow!

6. She is very easily consoled once she gets worked up.

7. Her little cheeks and lips are TOOO kissable. You seriously just can't help yourself from eating her up.

8. She is our little cuddle-bug.

9. For the first few days of her life, the ONLY time she went to the bathroom was on the changing table. Hehe.

10. SHE IS OURS.
