Bonding on the Couch

Madelyn and Daddy got to spend some quality time on the couch while she was awake last night!!

Lacy's Turn

With Madelyn asleep, Lacy takes her turn getting some quality time. Lacy seems to be adjusting well, kinda indifferent. We'll see what happens when she realizes Madelyn is not just visiting - but she is here to stay.

Awake for a Visitor

Madelyn woke up long enough to get her picture taken with Angie's friend, Lisa Dunn - another principal in GCISD.

Roses

Here's Madelyn with the roses from Becky, one of Angie's principal friends.

A Special Blanket for a Special Baby

Little Madelyn loves the blanket that her Great Aunt Barbara made for her. We're trying to get the same shot but with Madelyn facing the camera. She still has a little bit of a cone head, but not too bad after 4 days.

Night 1 & 2 Update

Well, the new nighttime routine is a learning experience!! Madelyn was up 4 - 5 times during the 1st night, but only 2 - 3 the 2nd night. She is a quick learner though - she learned to cry a little louder between the 1st and 2nd night. Luckily, Grammy (Angie's Mom) agreed to stay up with her the 2nd night if we would fix the bottle each time. We took her up on that!

Discovering Her New World

She's mainly sleeping these days, so when her eyes are open, we have to get LOTS of pictures! Here she is soaking things in.

Striking a Pose

Vogue!!!

Making Her 1st Friend

Trying out the new bed

Couldn't get her to pose for this one, but here she is testing out her future bed.

Testing the New Bed

Headin' Home

Here we are leaving the hospital. Our car seat completely swallows little Madelyn, but she is strapped in tight.

The Pushin' Nurse

This is Reny. We had several nurses, but she was our nurse during crunch time. She was GOOD!!

Magnolia Connection

Here is Madelyn with Gray Garrett, one of Angie's childhood friends from Magnolia, AR (Angie's hometown). He and Angie both got to Dallas as quickly as they could about 15 yrs ago.

With Uncle Matt

This is Uncle Matt (Angie's brother). He is very excited about little Madelyn! He and Aunt Nori brought beautiful flowers to Mom and Madelyn.

PaPaw and Madelyn

Madelyn is PaPaw's 3rd grandchild....but closest to Arkansas, so Madelyn hopes to see him very often!

Another 1st....

Here is Madelyn wondering if this guy really knows what he is doing.....he doesn't!!

Another Visitor

Angie's friend Carrie stops by with 3 of Angie's favorite things: Dr. Pepper Jelly Bellies, Celebrity Bakery, and even more baby talk!!

Dad's 1st Solo Pic

Here's the 1st picture of Madelyn with her Daddy. She is about 1 day old here.

The Great Dr. Trylovich

Here is Angie's doctor with the little miracle she delivered. Angie LOVED her!!

....and baby makes three!!

Here is the new family when Madelyn is about 30 minutes old!!

Grammy & "Rainbow"

This picture is especially for Garrett (Angie's 5-yr old nephew). He wanted to name the baby "Rainbow" because "Gray isn't really a color, but a rainbow has lots of colors!"

Arms Up

Here is another favorite pic...

Pacifier Picture

Here's one of Terry's (aka Daddy) favorite pictures so far!
