Maddox is a BIG Sister

So Maddox did her 'maiden hold' yesterday evening and Eric managed to get some great shots. She has been 'asking' to hold him for the last couple of days and it proved to be a nice experience. She still doesn't quite understand her size as compared to him but all in all she was very happy to hold him and actually wanted to continue to hold him several other times during the rest of the evening. She kissed him and we pointed out all his body parts...eyes...nose...tummy...fingers....etc. She did a great job. AND I don't know if we've turned a corner or not but Maddox has been REALLY GOOD the last 72 hours or so. She has almost returned to her normal self and has been really interested in Kennon. The other thing that has happened is that she is playing with her own baby and mimicking a lot of the activities that I do with Kennon....putting her down on the activity mat, burping her, putting her in the swing. Wednesday night Kennon slept 2 3 hour stretches which was really nice but last night we weren't so lucky. He had slept most of the day and really fought sleeping last night. Oh well, today is another day. We've had some MAJOR storms roll through the last 2 nights. Kennon seems oblivious to noise and will sleep through Eric changing Maddox in his room on the changing dresser while he is in the crib! Maddox has woken up a couple of times but not really from the storms, it seems she has been having bad dreams, or so we think. Luckily she goes right back down without a fuss. I love the picture of Kennon I took yesterday. This is one of his common poses....SLEEPING! Have a good weekend.
