Even though it feels like Madeleine has been part of our family for a lot longer than just two weeks, we are far from having her figured out! Thankfully, apart from the odd gas attack, she has continued to be a very settled baby so far. She constantly entertains us with her faces, expressions, and noises, and we are amazed at how much she has grown already. At the last midwife visit a couple of days ago, she was up to 8.8lb (from 8.1 at birth)! Steve has been back at work this week, and I have continued to rest up, but did manage to take Madeleine out for her first, very short, walk in the stroller earlier this week. After a bit of fussing, she fell right asleep.
We have been using cloth nappies - a combination of old Curity diapers that Mom brought over (used on my sister and me some 30+ years ago!), and YoYo nappies made by a woman here in NZ. So far they have been working really well, and we have had enough sunny days to get them mostly dried outside.
Today was a beautiful, calm, sunny Sunday, so we headed out to the Pencarrow Coast for a walk. Madeleine slept the entire time, and we enjoyed a picnic lunch on the shore.
We have created a new web album for Madeleine, so feel free to check it out (click on the picture below) - we will update it regularly and post more pictures of her there than here on the blog. |
