OMG!!! Madison had her first real laugh tonight!!! She has been trying to for the past few weeks but she had her first chuckle! I did get sad tonight thinking how much Cheryle would love seeing her beautiful face and seeing the huge smiles.
I read her first story from a Halloween book that her Grandaddy bought for her last night. She was very into it.
She put on a huge show for Grammy and Poppa today. She was "talking" up a storm!!!

My sweet little girl started something new today, burping like a man! I have never heard a baby burp that loud before! LOL!!! She can also grip on her own without help. The Baby Einstein ocean themed activity gym that Mom got for her is awesome and she loves it. The reflux has calmed down a lot but the teething still is bothering her. I got her first Halloween costume the other day and I know it is cliche but I got the lady bug because she looks so good in red and I loved the tights that came with it. She is now going to sleep even earlier (usually around 10) which is awesome! She still sleeps all night long.

Madison has added a new sound tonight. "Baa-lung." She already has been doing oooohhhh, ah-oh, maaaaa, ummmm, and her favorite gaalung.
She is doing the smiling and laughing more and more every day. The hubby and I just melt over that one!
Either the teething or the reflux does make it difficult for her to breastfeed at night. Sometimes I have to give her a bottle of expressed milk. The Orajel does not seem to do squat for her and the teething tabs only last for a short time.
Tomorrow is going to be interesting. We are going to a big consignment sale and I will have her in the front carrier and there are no strollers or diaper bags allowed. I will need to shop fast! LOL!!!

This sounds crazy but I swear that Madison said Mama last night. She was having a screaming episode from gas or teething and it was clear as day. I know that it is probably a fluke but it broke my heart for her to be in pain and cry out for me. She had a huge poop a few hours ago so maybe she will have an eaiser night tonight.

Madison grasped her froggie rattle today. She had a much better day today than yesterday. The teething is really rough.

Madison is now 2 months old!!!

Wow! It is so hard to believe that Madison is 2 months old! I decided to start a blog because I am afraid that I might forget the little things. A really good example is that I had forgot that I threw up twice during labor and that the second night we were home from the hospital a terrible storm knocked out power at the house overnight and well into the next day.



At her last appointment she has the first round of immunization shots and she did scream and it was very sad. She weighed in at 10 lbs 8 oz. She does seem to be teething with is odd but not unheard of. She is still taking the Zantac for the reflux.



She "talking" like crazy and she loves to kick. I am very worried that she will catch whatever Rocky is sick with. He is being very careful not to touch her.
