Three Weeks with little Madden

So I have been taking care of baby Madden for about three weeks now. He's already changing so much! He's recently begun taking notice of his toys and realizing that they do fun things. It is so much fun to watch his surprise when things move and sing to him. I can't wait until he starts doing even more! Katie is doing really well helping me with him too, she loves to play Peek-A-Boo with him while I'm changing his diaper. She also likes to hold him which she really can't do yet, but man oh man does she try!

First week with baby Madden

 Hello everyone! My name is Ashley, I am a nanny and have been doing childcare for around five years. I love my babies and upon starting a new position have decided to write about my experience. Madden is 6 weeks old and I am his very first ever caregiver. I really look forward to watching him grow and learn and being present for many of his "firsts". Nothing is as fulfilling as watching a baby grow.

This week was all about getting to know each other. Newborns always have their cues when they need something specific. I have learned so far that when Madden is hungry, which is pretty much all the time, he makes this funny sound with his pacifier and starts nuzzling in my chest. I had him up higher on my shoulder and he about near sucked my cheek off! I also had forgotten just how crafty you have to be to change a little boys diaper and stay dry!

I am having such a good time watching my baby sister, who is nineteen months and comes to work with me, interact with little Madden. She absolutely adores him! All day I hear "Baby..Uh Oh..Baby!" She pets him, and likes to try and hold him. I let her feed him, with close supervision of course, and she was sooo excited.
That's all for now folks
