Even though Madeleine is already two weeks old today (eek! how did those first two weeks go by so fast??), I still cant believe she is so small. Its just so hard to believe that James was that small - and now he is think running, jumping yelling little boy in just two short years. Looking back at his old newborn pictures we can confirm that he was indeed that small... but it really just seems impossible.


This is James at two days old. So small and sweet!

And here is his little sister at two days old - just as small and sweet :) Thinking back to how James was as a newborn, there are many similarities between the two but also many differences. Madeleine talks in her sleep - constantly. It took us a few nights to figure out that she wasn't really awake, that she was just babbling. She also makes the best faces, James was always so peaceful when he slept and a super calm baby. Madeleine... not so much. My mom calls James dramatic but I have a feeling that Madeleine is going to be even worse. When she is awake she is either making faces or trying to figure out what is going on. Never just happy to be held, always needs to see whats around her or is yelling to get attention. And not crying like babies cry, but this yell - like "look at me, look at me!". James is still loving on her. The newness of having a baby around has worn off but he keeps talking to her and trying to get her to play with him. Tonight he was teaching her how to count to 20. The best part is that every morning and every night he gives her a kiss. He still just calls her baby, but Madeleine is a hard name, so baby works just fine.

Yeah, not nearly as peaceful when she sleeps as James was - but way more entertaining!
