Maddie has two birthdays. This, as you can imagine, complicates things considerably.
Maddie’s first birthday is the one that correlates to the day she was actually born…November 11th, 2007. Her second birthday relates to her “adjusted age,” and recognizes the date Maddie would have been born had everything gone according to plan and we didn’t have to deal with all of the prematurity madness. This second birthday (January 28th, 2008) is the one to look at as far as her development goes because she looks a lot more like a baby born this January than one born last year. Of course the truth is she looks small no matter which birthday you look at!
Anyhoo…I bring all this up because earlier this week Maddie turned six months old based on her “adjusted age.” This may not seem all that impressive to some folks, but the parents out in cyberspace know it’s a big deal, especially when one considers all that Maddie has gone through in her short life.
So, in honor of the World Famous Maddie Moo’s six month birthday (adjusted), I thought I’d post a few of my favorite photos of her to share with you all!
PHOTO #1: Maddie a few minutes after she was born (and not looking a thing like she does now!)
PHOTO #2: A few days after we brought her home!!!
PHOTO #3: Maddie doing her best sultry stare…look out boy babies!!! FYI…this photo was taken on January 28th…Maddie’s adjusted birthday!!!!
PHOTO #4: At her first baseball game!!!
PHOTO #5: Maddie rockin’ the piano like Billy Joel!
PHOTO #6: Maddie last night!!!
HAPPY SIX MONTH BIRTHDAY (ADJUSTED), MY LITTLE CHICKEN MUFFIN LOVE BEAR!!!
XOXO, Dad

January 28th is my birthday too. It’s a good birthday day. I’ve been pleased with it. The buzz of Christmas has worn off and – wham – it’s your birthday.

Those cheeks kill me. When she’s little people are going to drive her crazy pinching them and as she gets older people are going to drive her crazy commenting on her awesome cheek bone structure.
Happy Adjusted Half Birthday, Maddie!

What kid wouldn’t like 3 or 4 birthdays a year?? Sounds great to me!

We went through the whole NICU thing with our baby too. Ours was not nearly as dramatic, but I can sure sympathize with how it feels to have a baby in the hospital. And I can relate to the thrill and the fright of bringing them home!

Yay Maddie!

Happy adjusted 6 month birthday, Maddie!
HOW can she be so beautiful? I mean, truly – how is it possible?
My daughter’s were supposed to be born on 1/18/08…but like maddie were born 11/13/07.
Happy 6 month’s maddie!
It gets confusing though bec we keep living in real age/ adjusted age world. very confusing place to be and much to obsess over.
btw heather told me to mention to you- that I actually met PAUL MCCARTNY today. Be jealous- be very jealous.

Love the photos. The twins had the outfit in #3.
And before you know it, you won’t be talking about adjusted age anymore. And you’ll need the cage I’m going to be blogging about.

Happy Adjusted Birtday to the cutest baby ever!
Your daughter is so beautiful.
(Also ducks are kind of cute. But I can’t help adoring them for their yummy insulation more than their cute quackiness.)
Those eyes, that smile!

I have two birthdays too: the day I first came out, then three days later after I had crawled back in for some meditation time and decided I was finally ready.
