Work & Daycare: BUSY week!

Well, I started back to work this week. It was pretty rough. To begin, we didn't get to do our half day daycare dry run b/c poor Maddie got sick over the weekend. She was up all Sunday evening coughing & gagging. Little miss had caught her first cold. (Not sure from where). So, her first day at daycare ended up being my second day back to work. Needless to say there were a lot of tears. Fortunately, Maddie seems to be doing well there. And, she's the cutest kid in her class (obviously) so I think she might get special attention. Or not. That's just what helps get me through the day! :)

This weekend Madeline spent a little bit of time with each set of her grandparents. We also cheered the CATS on to another tournament victory!!

Hanging out with Grandpa Hughes!

My mom picked Maddie up from daycare early. I had sent her there in a sleeper. When I got to my mom's house she was in this new outfit. Hilarious!

Sick little girl... poor thing. She could only sleep propped up b/c she had so much snot.

Look at those chubby legs!

Only a few days left...

I go back to work on Tuesday...which means it has been 12 weeks since Madeline arrived. I cannot believe we have a 3 month old! She is just absolutely the light of our lives!

On Monday, Chris and I are going to do a practice run. We're going to get up & take Madeline to daycare for a few hours. I'm hoping I will get all of my tears out Monday, since I don't want to cry at work. We shall see. I know Maddie will be in good hands, but it doesn't make it any easier! Fortunately, I've got a ton of great friends at work who will help me get through the first few days.

This last week, Maddie and I have been busy with lunch dates, play dates, and the like.

Madeline's newest thing is playing on her mat cooing and screaming. I tried to get it on video but she clams up when the camera comes out.

In my bumbo, ready to cheer on the CATS to victory today!!

I'm thinking about having Madeline wear this in her 3 month photos (among about 45 other things!!)

Maddie Rolling!

So I am officially the last person to see Maddie roll over, but I did...today! She rolled over two times in a row. Check out this video.

Madeline: Growing like a weed!

Maddie had her 2 month doctor visit on Wednesday and she did great! She only cried a little after her shots this time- thank goodness! She weighs....TEN pounds! Can you believe that? She is 22 inches long- almost two feet! Here are a few photos of our baby girl!

After bath time!

Just chillin'

Looking around...

Maddie and mommy

Ready to cheer on the CATS!!

In my new hat!

Wherever we are, Stella is too! She loves her sister. (Well, actually, she loves licking her toes.)
