One Month Apt

Madisyn had her one month apt today. She weighed in at a whopping 9lb 8oz (50%) and measured 22in (75%). It is so exciting to have an average baby. No more 3rd percentiles for the Jewells! MD says she looks great and wants her to stay on Alimentum for at least 4-6months. Only downer is she tested positive for alpha thalassemia but at least we know what to expect. Back to the doc in a month (hopefully not any sooner).

Madisyn is 1 month old!

Madisyn is a really happy baby and is growing so fast. We had a couple rough days after she apparently developed an allergy to the formula she was on (deja vu) but now that she is on the same formula Brayden was switched to, all is well. She is content to lay in her bouncy or boppie but really loves to be held by anyone who is willing. She also loves her brother even when he is up in her face singing or asking "Who's the big brother, who's the big brother?". And to top it off, she is sleeping about 5-6 hours at night!!!

Maddie loves her big brother and vice versa!

Maddie meets her Aunt Tricia.

Soccer Player?

This fall Brayden decided he wanted to give soccer a shot. He loved practices but soon decided that there was just too much running during a game. During the games, there was a lot of sitting down on the field and volunteering to take breaks. Despite Brayden deciding that soccer was not his sport, he toughed it out and even scored a goal the last game. Then to add icing to the cake, he got a very cool holographic medal.
