This weekend was a blast for Ryan, Madison and me. Jaymie's bridal shower was on Saturday so we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa Banda's house to celebrate. There Madi was able to meet her Uncle Aaron and Aunt Jaymie, her Uncle Steve and Aunt Debbie, and Jaymie's sister Jess too. She also spent some quality time with Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Jack. The shower was really nice and we ended up staying until almost 11 pm because we had so much fun visiting with the family. Madison was a little cranky in the beginning but settled down after an hour or so. Jaymie was amazing with her - held her for a few hours - even through her cranky spells. None of us have any doubt that she's going to be a great mom!
Nancy and Debbie helped us figure out that even though Madison is growing like a weed (almost 12 pounds now), her hunger isn't always totally satisfied which is why she gets so cranky sometimes. Ryan and I also started giving her big bottles and she's taking them down - 7 ounces at a time. So, last night we tried supplementing her with formula before bed for the first time. Since we figured this out on Saturday, she's been such a happy baby and is smiling at us all the time.
We also figured out who Madison looks like. No doubt about it. Nancy pulled out pictures of Ryan as a baby and they look EXACTLY like Madison. It isn't just that they resemble each other - his pictures actually look like pictures of her. I wish I had an electronic photo of Ryan so I could put them side by side on the blog. It's pretty amazing! I guess we'll just have to cross our fingers that she doesn't end up with his five o'clock shadow!
