Week Thirty-Three

  • Had visits from both Grandmothers.  My mom (Grandma) came on Sunday and stayed until Wednesday evening and Shawn's mom (Granny) came on Wednesday night and stayed until Saturday.  They both came to help us out and take care of Maddie.  Monday-Wednesday I was working on things for school and trying to get things ready to head back to work.  On Thursday and Friday I was gone to Lakeland for a project I'm working on for the Dept. of Education.  Maddie loved spending time with her Grandmas and Shawn and I are so grateful to both of them for helping us out!!  
  • Went to breakfast on Saturday with Granny.  Maddie sat in the highchair and ate her food like a big girl!  She smiled at everyone there and got so many comments on what a great baby she is.  By the end of breakfast she was a little fussy, so we had to hurry out...no leisurely breakfast time anymore!
  • Got some new kicks!  In preparation for Maddie's new adventure at daycare (The Grasshopper room) she needed to have sneakers.  I went a few different places trying to find cute little girl sneakers and with waiting to the last minute ended up paying $30!!!  That's right, I paid $30 for shoes for my 7 1/2 month old daughter who doesn't walk!!  According to daycare it is a requirement for all children in the grasshopper room to have sneakers everyday...ugh!  I am now on the lookout for sneakers on sale in the next 50 shoes sizes....that's what I get for waiting until the last minute!  Oh...and I found out that she is a size 2!  
  • Went back to school!  On Monday, Maddie went back to school at Ladybird Academy and mom went back to work for pre-planning week.  Maddie is going to transition between the infant room and the Grasshopper room for a few months until she gets use to the new schedule, new food, and new nap routine.
  • Did not do well only napping once a day.  With the transition to the older infant room, Maddie is only getting one nap in the afternoon.  She was only napping about an hour each day, which meant that her afternoons were spent falling asleep on something and getting very cranky.  Shawn and I were going to work everyday and then coming home to a cranky child...no fun!  On the third day back at daycare we made the request that she stay in the infant room and take two naps per day...this turned out MUCH better!  
  • Is wearing size 3 diapers now.  I don't know how much she weighs, but it must be between 16-18lbs. according to the diaper sizes.
First day of school as a Grasshopper!
