Today was another great day with Madeline. I went to Mass this morning with Grannie and Paw-Paw, proudly telling everyone about my new baby sister, Madeline! Afterwards we went straight to see Mommy, Daddy, and Madeline!
We knew it was almost time for her to eat, and I wanted to feed her. Walking up to their room, I was being slow. Grannie told me I'd better hurry because Madeline was probably crying because she was hungry. From then on, I was running. I couldn't get there fast enough! I walked into the room, and she was snuggled on Daddy's shoulder. But she wasn't craying. I still got to feed her. Everyone tells me I'm doing an excellent job with her, too.
Grannie burped her, then finished feeding her bottle to her. The nurse, Ms. Lynn, came in to check on Mommy and Madeline. I love my baby sister, and I'm already a bit protective of her. I don't like when all the nurses are touching her. Ms. Lynn was very sweet and explained to me that she was listening to Madeline's heart. Mommy reminded my that I got to listen to Madeline's heartbeat at her doctor's office before Madeline was born. Then Ms. Lynn put her stethescope on my ears and let me listen to Madeline's heartbeat. That was really cool!
Grannie gave Madeline a nice warm sponge bath and made her smell all sweet with her baby lotion. She put a pretty pink outfit on her, then I got to hold her again!
The day she was born, Paw-Paw and Grannie took me to the store and let me choose a toy for her. I got her a rattle, so today I showed her how to play with it.
I sure do love my Madeline!
