8 weeks!

I can't believe my little girl will be 2 months old next week! Time is flying by (even though some days feel like forever!). Since my last post, Maddie has been doing awesome at sleeping. She is sleeping entirely in her crib now! Nap time is wonderful!! She seems to have a pretty good routine down, as much as 2 months old can have a routine! Mommy gets to have good naps and get stuff done around the house. Night time was going great, but the last couple of days she has put up a fight to sleep. I'm pretty sure it's because Nate and I are strict at night time about have her sleep and then she gets over-tired. We need to work on that! Her max awake time is pretty much 1 1/2 hours right now, after that forget it. If I time it right she goes right to sleep. If not...I have to rock her and put her down about 3-4 times. But she has made such progress!
The biggest news recently is she has started smiling!! And not just when she is going to the bathroom like before ;) It's such an amazing feeling when I wake in her room and her whole face smiles when she sees me! Her daddy and I love it! She also took a bottle last night from Nate...and I was so excited I cried!! We have been trying for a couple of weeks now and I was worried she would never take one. But I'm going to go back to the daycare 2 days a week and she needs to be on a bottle for me to take her. And to be honest, I'm tired of having to do everything within a 3 hour span!! It will be nice to do things and just being able to give her a bottle now!!!
She seems to be doing something new everyday and we are just soaking it all in! She is so fun...I can't wait to see what she does tomorrow!! Here are some pictures of the recent weeks. I tried to get her smiles, but it's difficult to entertain her, hold the camera, and get it in time!! Close enough :)

I'm smiling at mommy!!

Play mat time!!

Looking for a hug!!

Mommy & her girl :)
