Sad Maddie

Overall Maddie is quite the happy baby. She is almost always smiling, and has started to laugh!

A few things do make her very unhappy though. We hate to see her sad or upset, but it is quite adorable (just like everything about her) when she first starts to fuss, as she makes the cutest little frown. We try to do what we can to soothe her before she gets extremely upset (which is normally right before bedtime - she normally cries when I'm changing her for bed, but she's hungry and tired!).

Here's what typically makes her unhappy & fussy:

* Being hungry (of course)
* Anything having to do with her head being touched, such as:
     * Being changed (normally she's okay after I put the onesie on, but starts to really get upset when the second layer gets put on. Not sure if it's because of her head or because her arms are constricted for a little while)
     * Putting on / Wearing a hat
     * Drying her hair (she is fine when we wash her hair)
* Laying down for too long, our girl likes to sit/stand up! / Being bored
* Dirty diaper - though she has gotten a lot better at tolerating a wet/dirty diaper!
* Being tired. When all of the items above have been checked off, we then look at the clock and realize it's time for a nap!

I am a bad mom and decided to take pictures of her fussy and crying before picking her up. In these photos she is fussy because she didn't want to be laid down anymore.
