Maddie's First trip to Hula Hut

We took Eric's parents to Hula Hut last week for a yummy dinner. I think Maddie enjoyed it - even though she slept the whole time.

Big Girl Diapers

A few days ago, Maddie graduated from newborn to size 1 diapers. The size 1 diapers look more like shorts because they're a bit too big for her right now. But, at the rate she's growing, I'm sure they'll fit just fine very soon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today, Eric and I ventured out with Maddie for the second time since her birth. We went to Red Robin in the early afternoon to have a late lunch/early dinner and celebrate Valentine's Day. Today is also the 5-yr anniversary of Eric's and my first date. (Yes, we had our first date on Valentine's Day in 2004.)

Maddie slept through the entire dinner, which made the meal nice and enjoyable for Mom and Dad.

Happy Valentien's Day!

Smiling at 5 Weeks!

Although Maddie smiles and laughs often in her sleep, we didn't expect her to smile at us so early. She first smiled at Eric during her 1 month wellness checkup when he kissed both of her cheeks over and over.

I tried Eric's tactic myself and was finally able to capture her smiling a few days later.

She's already melting our hearts!

Play Time!

Even though Maddie is just 5 weeks old, I put her on her playmat at least once every day. She really seems to enjoy all the sights and sounds, waving her arms and legs with glee.
