Madoc Update

With her 2-month appointment scheduled for next week, there will be more, formal updates next week. From what I can tell, the nursing is working - she's into 6 month clothing at 2 months.

Updates

I've been laying low since my inlaws left Denver. Mostly trying to figure out how to begin Spring cleaning. And how to get "all those things done." Like getting Madoc's passport photo taken.

Speaking of passports, I was looking at old posts (the other day) from when Chase was two months old. At that point, we had been to 5 countries - no wonder nursing didn't work out so well. Chase was so flexible, so easy to travel with, we just couldn't help ourselves.

Madoc is already showing signs of being a little less flexible. If she isn't in bed by 7:30/8 pm, she gets really fussy and seemingly inconsolable. I can get her to sleep by carrying her in the sling, but she will sleep from 8:30-12 midnight if I do it right. But that means I have to go to sleep at 8:30 too, or I miss prime sleepin' time. She also gets fussy after about 3 a.m., I've noticed, and doesn't sleep well until about 6 a.m. And somewhere between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., Chase usually comes in and takes up what little space is left in the bed. So sleep is, well, not easy to come by.

Speaking of Chase, she continues to love and adore her sister. Every morning she tells her how beautiful she is. She tries to play with her at every opportunity. She is super sweet.
