Week Three

• Got back to her better sleep habits.  Every night she had 3 hour stretches with at least one 4 hour stretch added in.  This made mom and dad a lot more productive during the day.
• We are still trying to figure out the perfect bedtime routine and bedtime.  During the night, she goes right back to sleep after every feeding/changing, but she doesn't always go right down when we first swaddle her and put her in the bassinet.  She usually fusses and want to be rocked to sleep before she'll go down for the night. 
• Makes adorable noises when she's sleeping.  Mom has figured out how to fall asleep during these noises and not jump up thinking something's wrong.
• Has figured out her arms and legs.   
• Took a bottle for the very first time!   We didn't plan to start this early, but Maddie decided to change up her feeding times.  We had friends come over last night and decided to get take out.  Courtney and I went to pick up the food and left the boys with Maddie. She had eaten 45 minutes before, so I thought I had over an hour. 15 min after we left Shawn called with a screaming hungry baby in the background! I debated going home and then remembered that there was 2oz of milk in the fridge, so I told Shawn to go for it! After going through all the cabinets to find the nipple he fed her the bottle. Shawn said she took it like a champ! When we got confirmation of the success, I had such a feeling of freedom!!
• Had a nice visit with Grandma on Wednesday and Thursday.
• Turned her furry brother into an escape artist.  Noah decided that his sister was getting too much attention, so he dug under the fence gate and went next door to hang with the Boves.  Luckily he didn't go too far and we are thankful that Catherine brought him home safe and sound!  Dad spent the rest of the day fixing the hole, so our first born can't escape.  We're trying to give Noah some more attention, so he doesn't feel so left out!
