I have some friends who asked if we could watch their baby for the month of September, just a few days a week. Her name is Madeline - "Maddie", and our whole family has fallen in love! She is almost 2 months old and she is the cutest little thing! This has turned into a "family" affair! I get to play with her and love on her during the day, but as soon as the kids walk in the door from school they take over. Each wanting their turn with the baby. They are happy to play with her, tickle her cute little toes, and even feed her. (they haven't offered to change the diapers yet.)
Rick was working from home a couple of days last week and he even had to get his baby fix! He is a natural...if she would be fussy, he would pick her up and she was quiet. He asked if I wanted him to get the baby swing out of the attic for her....I told him, "no, she is fine." But the next thing I knew, he had gotten it out of the attic and had all the pieces layed out on the floor. (Like I said - we ALL love having her)
It is so cute to see the kids with the baby. They all want to help and cuddle with her. I had to snap a picture of all three kids feeding her...one holding her, one holding the bottle, and one holding her hand. Do you think she gets enough attention at my house????
Paige is the one that is totally hooked. She is so sad when Maddie has to go home. I have to remind Paige she will be back. Friday the baby was asleep when Paige got home from school. She was just itching to hold the baby! She could hardly stand it! Finally Maddie woke up, but it wasn't long before Maddies mom came to pick her up...Paige was sure to let me know that she didn't get enough time with the baby!
It has been so fun for our family to have a little one in the house. We have loved having Maddie in our home! This has been a great way for us to have our baby fix!!!
I'm Mad as Hell ... and I think I like it!
