New Years Eve 2014

My mom offered to babysit for New Years Eve!  We went to a lovely Indian BYOB place and had a wonderful dinner and split a bottle of red wine we had been savings since our trip to California in April 2013 (when we got engaged).  We were back by 9:30.

Maddie's schedule is off by about 3 hours and we could not get her to stay asleep!  I ended up bringing her to the basement so we could watch the New Years Eve Countdown.

Maddie's First Bulls Game

We got season tickets to the Chicago Bulls basketball team this year (sharing with friends).  We couldn't get a sitter for this game vs the New Orleans Pelicans, so decided to bring Maddie and be "that couple" who brings a baby to a sporting event!  Maddie did great! She fell asleep on the car ride there.  After we parked, I strapped her into my baby carrier and we walked to the United Center.

We made it in time for the starting lineup!  Maddie did great!  She would startle every time the crowd cheered but otherwise slept for the entire game.  I had to get up a few times to walk around if she stirred but she quickly fell back asleep.  She didn't wake up until about 5 minutes left in the game and were able to stay for the entire game.

And the Bulls won 107 to 100!






Visiting Bak Bak

We went to visit Maddie's Bak Bak (Vickie's Pau Pau) after Christmas as she was unable to come to dinner.  She hadn't seen Maddie since she was 2 weeks old!

6 Week Checkup

We visited the doctor for our 6 week checkup and 2nd round of immunizations.  The doc said she looks perfect.  Maddie weighed in at a hefty 10 lb, 13 oz (75th percentile).  She's gained roughly 50% from her lowest weight (7 lb 3 oz - 1 week after birth).  Her head circumference is 15 inches (also 75th percentile).

She was measured at a length of 23.5 inches (99th percentile).  Yes, she's a long baby!  She's already outgrown all of her newborn cloths and some of her 3 month clothes are starting to get tight.  We start her training for the 2032 Olympics this summer.

Maddie was really upset by the 4 immunization shots.  The needles were adult sized and went into each of her thighs.  Ouch!  She's been on liquid Tylenol for the last couple of days to help her cope with the pain/soreness.

Below are some cute smile pictures that have nothing to do with the doctors office..
