Well, the sling didn't work out great. I think I did it right, but every time I put Maddie in I felt like I was smothering her! So, I went another route and got one of those wrappy type sling things. It is MUCH more comfortable for us both. She seems to like hanging out right there with me. She is growing so much so quickly! Today, she is almost halfway through her sixth week with us, and she does new stuff every day. Today I put her in her crib for a few minutes while I did some laundry and I swear she was talking to her little stuffed bunny! I heard her cooing...it was adorable. She has started to do a little cock-eyed smile every now and then. I just can't WAIT until she smiles back at me on purpose! She is such a strong little girl. She holds her head up so well already! Here are the obligatory pictures for this post:
I just love this picture!

There IS a cute little baby girl under all that red and white!

Maddie's Thanksgiving outfit--complete with Turkey bow that I made! Yes,  I'm proud...

She loves her Mimi.



Ugh. This was an experience. Madeline's first bath. The second was MUCH better.


She did love the water!


pigtails already!

The cutest little belly button in the whole world!

All pinked out hangin' in the crib

Our one month picture... posted a little late.

She's just as big as her teddy bear now!

Added a big ol' bow... 

And then a cute small one...

This is my favorite.

This was my first craft from Pinterest. A hairbow board!

We need lots more to fill it up. I don't think that will be a problem. :)

Grandpa Alford got her this little peanut outfit. He doesn't have a "name" yet...
We tried out G-daddy, and Tony thought it was too "gangsta". 

This little pink bear sings her lullaby music. She likes it a lot!

I just love this Scottie dog outfit. Looks like Baxter is on it!
