Madeleine just continues to chug along. I'm really delinquent on posting pictures and will do my best to get new pictures up today/tonight. Additionally, we're hoping that home nursing comes today as we're expecting a pretty major weight gain. Madeleine weighed 7lbs 6 oz last Thursday and we're hoping that she comes close to the goal of 1 oz/day gained. If that's the case, she should weigh in around 7lbs 11oz today.
With the new feeding approach, Madeleine continues to sleep well and she's pretty much in a happy disposition most of the day (except when she gets hungry). She's smiling a lot more, she's perfected the art of sucking her thumb (we have some good pictures), and she's really improving her head control-- she can lift her entire head up when we place her on her belly. These things aren't all that impressive to most-- I know they wouldn't have meant much to me prior to becoming a dad-- but they're major developmental milestones and Kirsten and I are ecstatic with Madeleine's progress. Whenever she clears one "hurdle" we go running for the camera so that we have a record of her progress.
That's all on our end. We don't have any plans set for the weekend-- we'd love to go out to our cabin in West Virginia but we're a little leery of making any major changes with Madeleine as we're really enjoying her progress right now. I guess there is something to be said for slowing down life every once in a while. :)
Thanks again for everyone's interest and support.
Brent and Kirsten

Ayyana and I are stoked about her reaching those milestones too :) I love that we're into the phase where we witness Madeleine 'growing up'. What a long, long way you've come.
