3 weeks old

Maddison is now 3 weeks old. Time sure does seem to fly by. Maddison is no longer sleeping in the pack n play in our room but rather in her crib in her room. We were going to keep her in our room until she was a month old and then move her out of our room. However, since she was sleeping 7 to 8 hours straight during the night we decided it was time. Maddison is doing great in her room and continues to be a great little sleeper.

Another major change for Maddison is she no longer fits into newborn clothes. She out grew her newborn clothes when she was about 12 days old. She now wears 0-3 months and can even fit into some outfits that are 3 months old since she is so long. I’m very happy that we did not have too many newborn clothes for her since she out grew them so fast.

I did forget to write about her 2 week check up. Maddison shocked all of us by gaining 19 oz in 7 days. Her doctor said that 1 oz a day or 7oz in a week is normal. So I guess Maddison is just an overachiever already. Her weight put her in the 90 percentile and 95 percentile for height. At the appointment, Maddison was 21 ¾ inches tall and weighed 9lbs 4 oz. Overall she is doing great and her next appointment will be at 2 months when she will start being seen on base.

Maddison has also been to the beach twice now and she enjoyed the second time much better. We were able to stay for about 2 hours the second time and even dip her feet into the water without her crying! I have a feeling she is going to have many more beach trips in the future and hopefully she continues to enjoy the beach!
