Dear Maddi,
Today was your 2 month doctor's appointment. It was exciting to talk to the doctors about how much you've grown since last month. They weighed you (12 lbs 11.5 oz), measured your height (22.5 in) and check to make sure you are growing properly. You were talking and looking around before the dreaded needles came. You had to get 4 needles, 2 in each leg. When you started to cry, I want to cry with you. You cry for at least 10 minutes. You finally fell asleep when we got home, but when you woke up, she screamed even louder. You ate a little bit but nothing calmed you. Daddy was trying to rock you and figured out you want to be in your swing. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It makes me really sad to hear and see that you in pain. Hopefully you'll be feeling better tomorrow.
Feel better baby.
Love,
Mom

2MO
Dear Maddi,
Today you are 2 months old. These 2 months have flown by and I wouldn't change a thing. It is amazing how much you have grown this past month. You are pretty good at holding your head up; definitely much less wobbly than last month. You are beginning to fill out, even have a couple rolls in your arms and legs. And your chubby cheeks! I just want to pinch them all the time.
You are using your voice for something other than crying, "talking." Sometimes we have "long" conversations; I hope you know you can always talk to me. It already sounds like you are trying to say "No." I hope that doesn't become your favorite word.
You have been trying hard to get your legs moving during tummy time, but get quickly frustrated when you don't go anywhere! Keep trying, you'll get it. You are starting to smiling and giggling. You actually crack yourself up sometimes. I love it! My favorite is when you grip my fingers when I'm feeding you. You hold on so tight!
We had our first family trip to the Poconos. We went to celebrate your cousins' (Audrey and Baron) christening. You were able to meet more of your family up the mountains. We only stayed over for a night. You were pretty good in the car on the way there and back. We will be visiting the Poconos a lot as you grow up.
We decided not to dress you up for Halloween. It was cold out after Hurricane Sandy so Aunt Nicki had me buy you a Halloween dress instead. Next year, we will going trick or treat-ing. I can't wait!!
Daddy has been home with you for the past two weeks and I'm pretty jealous I have to go to work every morning, but we make up for it over the weekends. I hope you don't mind.
You have started to like your baths each night. Sometimes you even splash around in the water. You do NOT like getting out of the tub though, it's too cold! I don't like it either. I'm trying to read with you each night, I hope you like reading like I do.
Happy 2 months, little girl! We love you sooo much!
Love,
Mom

Why "Letters to Maddi"?
So I have been searching the walls of Pinterest for tradition ideas for Maddi. I was trying to find something I can give to her when she is much older that includes details of her life from the start. My original plan was to write her a yearly letter about her developments, accomplishments, and achievements but quickly realized one letter is not enough to cover 365 days in her life.
Fast forward a few days of thinking = "Letters to Maddi"
My goal is to write a monthly letter (or more) to my daughter. I want to combine these letters to give to her one day (wedding, first day of college, 18th birthday, etc.) So today on her two month birthday, I begin "Letters to Maddi."
