Home and Settling In

Well, it's been quite the journey for our little Madi (and for all of us).  I think she's probably wondering when we are all gonna pack up and head to the next stop.  Maybe by the time this week has passed, she'll understand this is home.  Her sleeping schedule is still very erratic, but she is sleeping for 3-4 hours at a time.  So, Tina tries to go down whenever Madi does.

Saturday morning, while Tina was vacuuming, Madi let me hold her for the first time without crying.  Ever since, I've been able to pick her up and carry her around ... as long as Tina is still in sight.  JJ's been able to hold her and hug her, too.  So, it seems that she's really starting to warm up to everyone!

She's been exploring the house and finding all the toys everyone got for her before we left.  She loves all the musical and learning toys.  She also likes playing with wet wipes and stacking books, so how do you really know?

But every once in awhile, a girl just needs to relax!

Anyway, that's it for now.  I was planning on shutting the ole blog down now that we are home, but a lot of you have asked me to keep posting every so often, so I'll try to remember to jump on about once a week and give an update.  If I don't, just yell at me and I will!
