It won't make a top 10 You Tube video list or anything, but here is Madeline's online debut on the eve of her 4-week birthday. Warning: My voice gets a little annoying. It was my attempt at using the video camera that Nels got me for my birthday this year.
It's hard to believe that little Miss M is already one month old. Time has gone by fast, even in my sleep-deprived haze. Last night she gave me the rare treat of sleeping from midnight until 5 a.m. I hope it's the start of longer snoozes to come - for us both.
Maddy has her one month doctor's visit on Monday so I'm anxious to find out how much she's gained. She seems much longer now and she has filled out a bit, although she's still wearing newborn-size clothes.
While daddy went deer hunting with his cousins and brothers last weekend, Maddy, Erika, her friend Carissa, and I went shopping in St. Cloud. It was a fun, but short outing for us all. And my trip to the "Once Upon A Child" store proved informative. I was checking out clothes for Maddy when a woman came in to try to sell her bassinet, which was the exact same one as Maddy's been sleeping in that I had bought at a garage sale this summer. Well, I discovered while eavesdropping that the bassinet was recalled in August. Yikes. Two babies had been strangled to death in it, I later learned after I Googled it at home. So the next day my mom, Erika, Maddy and I went to Target and bought a new and safe bassinet, although it's actually a more useful travel light pack-n-play. The evil death bed is going to the dump.
Poor Madster. Mommy tries to save a few bucks and Maddy's life is threatened in the process. I also bought Maddy a sweet baby swing that she absolutely loves.
Well, this blog entry is being cut short since Maddy, who was laying next to me on her Boppy, filled her diaper with the mustard-colored poopies we've become well-acquainted with.
I'll spare you a video of that.
