My sister Kristin and her husband Kevin had a beautiful baby boy yesterday, May 18th. Jacob Riley weighed in at 10 pounds 6 ounces and was 20 inches long. He is super dooper cute - I can't wait to meet him in person!!! I was told that so far Logan has been a great big brother to baby Jake!

Maddie is 4 weeks old today!
Yay!!
I can't believe that it has gone by so fast!!
She has changed so much since she was born... it makes me so excited to see how much more she will change in the future. We have been doing a little bit of tummy time each day to help build her neck muscles and she is really starting to hold her head up for longer periods of time. It must be hard work though because she looks exhausted when she eventually drops her head, and she makes the cutest noise when she does it, almost like a sigh....
as if she is saying...."Whew! - that was tough mommy!"....
Maddie has also been napping in her crib during the day, but has not yet slept there through the night. I tried to lay her in there after her bath and bottle last night... she was fine for about 5-10 minutes... but then woke up SCREAMING!! I left her for a few minutes to see if she would calm herself down... nope! We rocked her back to sleep and tried again... same thing happened! Needless to say... she then went right to sleep in her bassinet in our room and stayed that way for hours. Not entirely sure what the problem was but all I can do it try again tonight and see.....
Matt & I are still waiting for that first "real" smile... she is starting to smirk a lot so I know that it is coming soon. I want to see that big toothless grin soooooo bad! Not to mention that first giggle.... oh my! What fun we have to look forward to with our sweet cupcake!!!
So.. Maddie's uncle John is coming to visit this weekend from CA. It will be the first time that he will get to see her in person and I know he can't wait. Unfortunately though, Aunt Jenn isn't coming because she couldn't get the time off of work. Boo hoo :o( Hopefully she will get to come soon. We are having a barbeque at Matt's parents on Sunday (I think.. maybe Monday... not sure) so I'm sure we will have lots of pictures to post afterwards.
