Doctor visit and life at home........

Kaitlyn went in for a weight check this week. She's now at 6lbs 8 oz, one ounce under birth weight. She had left the hospital at 6lbs 2oz, so the doc was happy with her progress. She's a healthy (and hungry) baby!

She has adjusted well to life at our home. When she isn't sleeping or eating or being changed, she prefers snuggling.

Between the two of us and the visitors we've had, she's gotten alot of snuggling in!

Here she is snuggling with her Papa:



She's still a little wary of the bouncy. Some days she loves it, others she is over it in a few minutes. Once she's a bit bigger she won't slide so far down, and should enjoy it more.


We also tried out the boppy; she seemed okay for a little bit. Again, she's so tiny!

One Week Old!

Kaitlyn is a week old as of yesterday. It's been an interesting week too. We had to learn that Kaitlyn comes with her own schedule, and it isn't always predictable. Mommy and Daddy are learning fast though!

She likes to nap often in her car seat. Here she is having an afternoon siesta:

She enjoys her chats with us. We sit and talk and sing silly songs (Mommy is working on her vocal skills!)



Daddy gets his quality time with Kaitlyn too. She loves to eat! Here Daddy is giving her a bottle; if you look carefully you can see she has her pinky extended. Such a lady!



After a few attempts, Kaitlyn is finally enjoying her bouncy chair. She likes to look around the living room; she has even taken a quick nap in it!
What a week! Time has been flying by. Every day we get to experience new things with our little girl. She's eating well, getting better sleep. She can even lift her head for a few seconds on her own! It's amazing what a wonderful girl she already is in her short time here with us!

She's finally here!

On June 14th, 2010 at 4:19PM Kaitlyn Alyssa entered the world!

She was 6lbs 9 oz, and 19.3 inches long.

She recognized her Daddy immediately, and spent time watching him intently.
Kaitlyn was cleared to come home on Wednesday afternoon. She enjoyed her car ride home so much that she stayed passed out in her carseat for quite awhile.

Her bouncy seat is another favorite place to hang out and take in the sights of her new home.It took a few nights to get used to sleeping in her bassinet, but now she seems to do well napping in it.
Mommy and Daddy are so happy to have her in our home. We're still figuring each other out, but every day Kaitlyn has taught us new things. It's going to be quite a journey ahead!
