Week Twenty-Two

• Got pink eye or a cold that was draining through her eyes (we don't really know because the after hours doctors charge an arm and a leg to tell us NOTHING and are of absolutely NO help!!!).  They did however give us eyedrops, which make everything all better the next morning and we didn't have any problems after that.
• Napped very well all weekend, so mom and dad could landscape the front yard!  We took out all of our mulch and many of our old plants from the front of house.  We replaced the plants, added some color, and all new mulch!!  It looks so much better and Maddie of course, loves it!
• Took her first trip to Pottery Barn and slept the whole time...mom is going to have to teach Maddie when to wake up for the good stuff!
• Continues to eat everything and always has one or two hands stuffed in her mouth.
• Continues to talk, talk, talk....
• Talked so loud in the AT&T store while we were getting new phones (yay for the iphone 4 with video!) that the salesman had to go back in his office to take care of our account because he couldn't hear on the phone....good thing we were the only ones in there!
• Loves all of her books at bedtime.  We try to read a different book every night and Maddie loves to turn the pages (usually backwards) wave her arms at the pictures, and of course...eat the book!
• I absolutely love that everyone put a sticker in their books from the shower.  I tell Maddie about the people that bought her the books when we read them!
• Is doing very well at daycare 'baby school'.  The teachers just love her and she is always so happy...she plays on the play gyms, in the jumperoo, and the exersaucer.  Of course she talks to everyone there too!  
• Is starting to grow out of most of her 3-6 month clothes.  I don't have time to go through everything until summer comes, so we are just picking through boxes every morning and evening to find clothes for now.  Summer's first project is to find clothes to fit Maddie!  We may need a small trip to the store for a few things...we absolutely love her hand-me-downs, but there are the opposite season, so now they are all cold weather things and well....it's HOT here!! :)  
• Weighs over 14lbs and that car seat is getting very HEAVY!!  I am going to have one huge arm and one tiny one before this all over! :)
• Looks like she has no meat on her....her tummy is so tiny and looks like I don't fed her.  I have no idea where the 2.5lbs of food goes!  She just keeps stretching longer and longer and keeps eating and eating!
