The eleventh week

It's now been three consecutive nights that Madeline has slept more than 8 hours in a row. Lacey and I are going to start getting spoiled soon - we weren't expecting to get to this point for another month or more. But, like we've said before, every night is its own adventure, and what happens one night might have no bearing on following nights.

We haven't had any more rollovers this week, but every day we enjoy Madeline's increasing engagement with her surroundings. She talks to us more and shows excitement frequently in her facial expressions and physical movements. And she's definitely getting bigger - she noticeably fills out her clothes more snugly and feels heavier when we hold her. We suspect she went through a growth spurt within the last couple weeks and are looking forward to getting her updated measurements in another week or so.
