So today I took some photo's of Maddy at the library with her "NICU Graduate" shirt on. The nurses gave her this when she was released to come home. When they gave us this shirt at the time it looked HUGE! But now she is about to outgrow it! As I watched her flutter around I thought how amazing she is and what a big girl she is now! It feels like just moments ago that Matt and I were practically living in the NICU- waiting for little Maddy to be able to finally come home. She was so tiny and our days were filled with how many CC's of milk she drank and whether or not she had any "brady's" today. Our highlights were getting to have "Kangaroo Care Time" which was the BEST! And being able to give her sponge baths. Those are all memories that we will always have and although they were hard at times we will ALWAYS cherish them because they were the first moments and days that we spent with our precious little girl!
And now........ Look at what a beautiful little girl she has turned into! We are just so proud of her and feel soooo blessed to have her in our life. Our days now are much different than the ones in the NICU. Now our days are filled with toys, Baby Einstein, throwing food, Zeebs, storytimes, and trips to the water park! Maddy has just started taking anywhere from 5 to 9 steps on her own and we know that pretty soon she will be all over the place! Although she keeps us on our feet now with the crawling-boy is she fast!!! She has started saying a few words now too. She says, "Da-da, Mom, Uh-oh, and All Done!" And she knows how to do the signs for bath and all done. She also loves to wave bye-bye and has started to blow kisses!
