Sleeping Baby...
We have learned that Elizabeth likes to sleep with her arms up by her head. She doesn't like her arms wrapped up when we swaddle her, if we do she fusses until she gets them out.

Elizabeth has started sleeping in her crib in her room this past week - we were hoping it would lead to us all getting more sleep at night, but so far she is still waking us up exactly every 3 hours to eat.

Our first outings
Besides the trips to the Doctor's office and some quick trips to the store, we have had a couple of fun outings so far... Michael is taking his last class this semester (and will graduate in December) it only lasts 4 weeks, but its on Friday and Saturdays. Anyway, Sundays have become our days together. Last Sunday we loaded up and Daddy took us to Ledges State Park. We drove through, and then we got out and walked around for a little while. It was a beautiful day, and so great to get out and enjoy the sunshine!
Then yesterday we ventured out to the new Bass Pro Shop in Iowa, it opened just 2 days before Elizabeth was born. Granny was here to help out for the weekend, so she went with us. Here we are... Madilynn is too entertained by all of the wildlife up on the walls, it was pretty cool I'd have to say, but I didn't get any pictures.

Elizabeth's 2 week check up
This morning we took Elizabeth to her 2 week Dr. appointment. All ready to go...
We have noticed that Elizabeth is starting to be awake a little more during the day, maybe 2-3 hours total. She's more alert during those times and moves around more.
Well, that's all for now..gotta go sterilize bottles!

Madilynn loves Elizabeth...it is so cute. She has wanted to be involved with everything. Elizabeth has slept a lot so far, but it is so cute Madilynn is quick to let us know when Elizabeth has her eyes open. They are rare times and we all like to see them open! When Elizabeth is awake Madilynn enjoys singing to her, the ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Elizabeth is so content and just watches Madilynn the whole time - like she knows it's Madilynn. I told Madilynn she knows your voice!

Here's Elizabeth after a feeding with milk dripping from her mouth!
