we were released from the hospital around 10:30am this morning and very excited to be heading home so early. we had a pretty good night last night all sleeping at the hospital. madelyn's behavior received several complements from hospital staff. they couldn't believe how nicely she slept on her "big pillow" on the floor that we brought from home.madelyn is still super excited to be a big sister. she was really excited to bring mason home in the car with her. she couldn't wait for him to use his swing and other toys at home. she also requested for him to come in the pool with her.
we all went for a walk around the block tonight after dinner because i really needed to get outside for a little while. madelyn suggested that mason ride in the stroller while she rode her bike. we were pretty impressed by this offer considering that when we have talked to her about sharing the stroller(s) in the past she declared that they were "mine" and not for "brother" to use. at the very end of our walk though (we were feet from our property line) she jumped off her bike and wanted her stroller back - we almost made it.
i think that we are all excited to be sleeping in our own beds tonight. mason napped in his crib for a few hours today so i think that he will do fine tonight.
other random notes from madelyn and mason's lives:
- mason has a dimple in his left cheek.
- madelyn uses this phrase, "hey, look at this guy". it has multiple uses - strangers, objects, mason, etc. it always makes me laugh.
- she also says, "look at me!" when she is showing off.
- madelyn tells us that mason is crying or talking or watching us.
- mason and matt were both born on the 26th of the month - different months, but the same date.
- mason loves to hold his head up and look around. when you try and burp him he keeps his head up the whole time instead of resting it on your shoulder.
- mason was 8lbs. 5oz. when released from the hospital
- mason sneezes a lot!
tomorrow we will have our first big trip out as a family - to church and then to the grocery store. love.

Love, love, love the matching shirts! Reading this post was like de ja vu from when we brought Kinley home. I wonder if they say 'guys' on MMCH or one of the beloved PVS shows, because Lorelai is all about the 'guys', too. Her favorite is referring to groups to get their attention, 'Hey, guys...' Here's to a first night home filled with a lot of sleep.
They are so cute together! Walking around the block!!! Way to go girl!
Love the picture! Thank you for taking the time to blog!! It helps when grandparents can't be there. When Matt was a newborn he raised his head up so strong like Mason - I was amazed. Love you all, Nana G.
This is absolutely precious. I have it on our refrigerator! Big Pop says it should be entered in a contest. Tooo sweet.
