first bath at home!

sleeping SO peacefully...

need we say more? we'll leave the audio portion of this post to your imagination- it shouldn't be hard to get!!

yummm, she loves fist! i had her clean diaper on for all of about 30 seconds before she filled it... good timing, mom!


madison's hair gets super fluffy and sticks straight out right after her bath. within a few hours, though, it's back to curling a little on the ends. until then, she and her daddy have matching hair-do's! we split bath duty last night- kelvin did cole's bath (he said he's not comfortable doing madison's until she's a little older, which i totally understand).
anyway, today we had a first- madison was actually had a diaper that was just wet, no poo! this girl's a champion in that department. she's so delicate and lady-like about everything, even spitting up... until it comes to filling her britches. she can out-do the best of them, i think. wow. looks can be deceiving, huh?
we're adjusting better each day... today was a little on the tough side, since cole's got more teeth coming in. i had a monster headache all day to boot. still do, actually... but it's less intense, so that's good. i think it's just from the adjustment. i'm getting some sleep at night, so that's going better than i expected- last night, madison ate around 9, then slept till 2 am and then was up again at 5, so that was pretty amazing. i know babies can change their minds on a dime, so i'm not expecting every night to be like that!

She look a lot like Cole when she's screaming, and she looks a lot like Kelvin in the profile pic. It's an a adjustment to say the least, but you'll get it.

Wow, she looks like Daddy in the profile pictures. Ditto on what Amber said about adjustment!

She's so beautiful! Makes me want to have another one! that's awesome that she slept good last night. coy actually got up only ONCE last night, which is like a miracle, since he usually gets up 3-4 times. maybe you will be lucky, and she will let you sleep some :) i cannot believe that you have to roll those sleeves up..so precious! I really can't wait to see you guys! till then...give madison a kiss, and cole a pat :)\
p.s. logans worried about madison being so advanced (finding her fist already)...she might be smarter than coy. but...i told him, she's a girl. duh.

Oh my! I forgot about the midnight feedings. Yikes! Something I'm not looking forward to. It looks/sounds like you have things under control, not that you really have a choice, but I am glad you are enjoying every moment.

What a beautiful baby girl!!!!

These pictures remind me of when Sarah was born. Every Sunday and Wednesday we would look at her - how bright and alert she was. She changed so much in 1/2 weeks time. Your dad said she changed from the time he'd leave in the morning to when he got home at night.

There are a few little ones in our field this year. We marvel at how quickly they change. So glad you are home and can cherish the moments with your little ones!!!
