Madeline's Baptism

After a very crazy and wet Saturday, Madeline was baptised on Sunday, Dec. 28th. She was an angel the entire day. She didn't make a sound during the ceremony.

Getting clean for her big day!

Christmas Day!

Getting ready to leave for dinner...it takes a while to get out of the house these days!

It was a white Christmas for sure! It was Addie's first time playing in the snow!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Grandpa A here!

Maddie's First Bottle (it didn't go so well!) She did well with a different bottle two days later!

Matching outfits and matching ruffles!

We had a very fun Christmas Eve. We went to church at Grace in Mt. Prospect and then headed to G-ma Sue and G-pa A's house for dinner. With 4 dogs and 2 little girls, it was not a very silent night!

Meeting the Cali Crew

Getting love from cousin Addison! :)

This is where Madeline prefers to sleep...on people! She loves to be held!

Happy Birthday to Maddie's Grandpa's!!!

Update

Madeline had her 2nd Doc Appt. last night and she now is 7 lbs. 10 oz. She is healthy and doing well! Her umbilical cord fell off today, so she will be able to have a real bath soon!

Calming Madeline! Daddy knows what to do!
Maddie found her thumb and she likes it!

All clean and ready for bed!

Madeline is 1 Week Old!

I thought it would be fun to have a photo shoot - she didn't agree! This was the only picture I ended up taking! Maddie's 1st Doctor's Visit! She was 7 lb. 2 oz. and we go back tomorrow.

Although the pics don't show it, she has been a very good girl. Her first night at home was rough, but after that she's been a dream baby!
