Maddie had lots of feelings about her two month old photoshoot. Here’s a sample of 10 minutes with Maddie Dot….

MADELINE AT TWO MONTHS

Weight: 10lbs 11oz    Height: 22.8in
Eyes: Blue   Hair: Auburn(ish?)
Eyelashes: Looooong

Maddie had a bunch of firsts in her second month in this world:
Gone on two field trips out of the house (3/16-Great Nana’s;  4/5-Grandmum’s)
First time wearing shoes (3/24)
She had her first day of face recognition with smiles (4/1)
First bath without tears (4/7)
First stuffy nose (4/8)

Maddie parrots noises, babbles and squeals. She babbles in her bassinet before and after sleeping and she likes sleeping with her arms straight over her head. We think she’s trying to suck her thumb, but just keeps putting her whole hand in her mouth when she’s upset or hungry. The longest she’s gone between feedings is 3.5 hours. She’s starting to like her music play mat from Aunt Katie. She plays the piano with her feet and looks at the baby in the mirror. She still loves to look at lights and shadows. She is sleeping on mom and dad’s chest less often and usually pushes her legs down and tries to stand up.

Nana is back from Japan and was eager to see Madeline so the Rapps stopped by for lunch and a vist. Madeline found out that in addition to her Poppo on her Rapp side she now has an official Poppy on her Daniels side. The Pops combo were delighted to see how much Madeline has changed  including how smiley she has become. 

Maddie came over to Grandmum’s house for her first movie night with the Daniels ladies. Katie hosted with the movie Saving Mr. Banks and prepared Beef Wellington, veggies, pop overs and an assortment of teas and desserts. The meal and movie were fantastic and Maddie got lots of quality time with Aunt Lauren, Aunt Katie and Grandmum.

Future parents George and Amanda came over and got a little baby holding practice. 

This is the first week Madeline seems to have good face recognition. She smiles and makes eye contact when she sees her mommy and daddy. It even works over Facetime!

If there were ever a day to visit, this was the one. Maddie was all smiles and babbling away while getting to know Aunt Nancy.

Maddie’s suited up and ready to watch the O’s season opener
