3 MONTHS YOUNG

Well, today the little darling is officially 3 months, already hearts are being melted by her gorgeous smile.

Just adorable

Today we went to the doctor for a follow up appointment, I put this little bunny suit on over her clothes as it was a cold day.... did she look adorable. Everyone commented on how cute she looked and Maddy confirmed this with the biggest grin. Dr Ban Abraham was convinced she had put on weight so we weighed her...... she is now 5.85kg and as one elderly lady said, ' She is a bonnie wee lass.

I have discovered that she likes it when she is standing on my lap facing me and I lift her up as far as I can, Maddy gives my big eyes and smiles.

At the moment she can't quite control her hands, but does she try - when I hold toys within reach she gets so excited and kicks and waves her arms. I can't believe that soon she will be putting everything in her mouth.

First little giggle

Well today Maddy made her first little giggle. It's kind of like her first smile where you think it is one but not too sure and then you say it has to be. Anyways, soon she will be giggling non stop as this little girl truely is the smiler. I just have to open my eyes wide and Madison rewards me with the biggest grin.

Last week we had a hectic one with Maddy having reflux, but since being on gaviscon she is doing so much better and going to bed with less wind.

Becoming a real little person

My little girl is now 12 weeks and is just too adorable to explain. When she smiles at me I want to melt. Like when she stands and makes her little legs stiff, then her face breaks into this huge grin like she is just so damn proud of herself. Maddy loves it when you speak to her in her own language.... Agoo....Caaaa.... Gagagaga (all said with great enthusiasim and amazing facial expressions). She is so strong on her tummy, heaps of grunting and groaning goes on though.

On the 9/10 the Plunket Nurse, Joanne, weighed and measured her, she is now 58cm long and is 5.35Kg, so in about 3 weeks she grew 5cm - this is a huge growth spurt.

Some time we go through a hard patch, but generally Madison s a very content and happy baby. Watching TV is one of her favorite pass times, oh and farting - definately her Daddy's daughter.
