Videos: Maddie and James

Here are some cute videos of Maddie holding James.

She sings Twinkle Twinkle to him in this video and it is adorable! At the end, James farts (barely audible) which is why Maddie starts to giggle and says "what's that?" even though she knows that he farted.






James is crying in this video and Maddie loves it when he cries, which is why she has a big smile in the video.

Music Class with Little Miss Ann

Maddie did not have school Thursday as they were closed for Rosh Hashanah so we went to a music class with Little Miss Ann!  She has been to the space to see Mr. Dave, but has never seen Little Miss Ann before. As soon as we got in and took our shoes off, she ran to the carpet and started rolling around and having fun. She answered promptly when Ann asked her name and age.

Maddie was a bit tentative at first, she just sat down and observed. Later, she came to sit on the bench with me, and when I saw a little girl dancing and running around, I told her she could stand up and do the same, and she did!  She completely got into it and danced and sang to every song.

She really impressed everyone when Ann was doing a countdown to throw some scarves in the air. She counted down from 10 very loudly for everyone to hear and was the only child in the class that could count backwards from 10!  My favorite part of class was when Ann said it was time to bring the shakers out and Maddie said "ooh, shakers!"

When the class was over and we headed for the door, the owner said goodbye to Maddie and said "You're fun! Come back again!" Maddie had an absolute blast and really was the life of the class!

James 1 Week Doctor's Appointment

On Monday, we took both James and Maddie to the doctors. James had his 1 week appointment and we brought Maddie in to get her flu shot.

This was the first time in the car with both kids and Maddie LOVED having James sit next to her in the car!

James checked out perfectly!

Stats:
Weight: 8 lbs 6.5 ounces, about the 85th percentile. He was down only 0.5 ounces from birth weight already! I wasn't sure if he was getting enough milk, but he definitely has been!
Length: 21.0 inches long, 85th percentile
Head circumference: 37 centimeters, also 85th percentile

Maddie knew ahead of time she was going to get a shot. We told her it might hurt and might tickle a little bit, but that she would get a cool bandage afterwards and also a special treat!  Joseph sat with her and helped hold her leg down a bit as the nurse got the shot ready. He tried to distract Maddie by having her look anywhere but at the needle, but she looked right at it as it went into her leg! She just said a little "ow" but then was perfectly fine!  She got a surprise blue lollipop as a treat for taking her shot like a champ! We dropped her off at daycare after the appointment and she proudly told everyone she got a shot (almost dropped her pants to show them her bandage) and stuck out her tongue to show everyone her blue tongue and said "aaaahhhh!" All the other kids then stuck out their tongues and said "aaahhhh!"
