Update time!

I have been lacking on the updates lately, as Maddy gets older she needs to be entertained more. Here are all our updates that don't have photos to go along with them...

Today Maddy and I went to our Stroller Strides class, and then to Monday Mommy Movie again. They were showing Julie and Julia, and we got Laurel and Bella to join us this week! 

Maddy is doing a little better at sleeping in her crib, she stills wakes up every 2 hours in the middle of the night, but I've been reading some strategies to help that, but I will wait until she is a little older and her belly can stay full longer. Laurel lucked out with a good sleeper, Bella slept for 7 hours straight in her crib last night!

Maddy stayed home with just her daddy for the first time on Wednesday. Our hospital offers a free Returning to Work class that I wanted to take. It provided information about pumping at work, and providing milk for the baby while you are at work. It went better than expected and Maddy slept for 4 of the 5 hours (I went to dinner with The Girls after the class) I was gone. We'll have to do a few practice rounds of leaving her with Grandma Jane before I go back to work on September 9th. I have hopeful plans of Mike dropping her off in the morning before he goes to work, since I have a bell schedule to follow.

On Saturday, Grandma Judy, watched Maddy so Mike and I could go out and celebrate out 1st wedding anniversary. We went to the movies to see 500 Days of Summer and then out to dinner. We used to love going out to the movies, so we took advantage of the opportunity...and picked one that isn't showing during Mommy Movie Mondays that I wanted to see. Maddy did great with her Grandma, who was more than eager to babysit. We already have our next night out planned for the end of the month. So nice to have eager childcare from both grandmas, make it easier to know that she is in good hands while we are away.
