Six degrees of Kevin Bacon...

Grandma is gone so we have been flying solo for a few days... and we are surviving! There is so much to do and figure out... thank God for our cell phone and those wonderful rollover minutes!

Grandma learned a couple of things by watching TAG photograph the baby. She was so proud of this one!


E absolutely loves sleeping on her tummy on her Dad. Dad loves the cuddle time.


E's belly button is finally healed and she took her first "tub" bath. She looks happy in this photo - but trust me, she HATES bathtime.



E tried out her Bumbo seat. She liked watching the dogs run around (that black streak over her right shoulder is Sinatra). She isn't quite big enough to sit there and hold her head up for very long but we were able to prop her up for a photo.



E was startled by the dogs barking and threw her hands up in the air.... then she fell asleep.... with her hands still up in the air....



We figured out where E got her crazy hair style... Now we just have to wait and see if she also has Kevin's "Footloose" dance moves...

Something Old, Something New...

The blanket on the left is one that my mom made when she was pregnant with me. As you can see it has been loved for the nearly 28 years I have had it. My mom made the blanket on the right for baby E while here visiting. I hope that E loves hers as much as I have loved mine....

E is becoming such a big girl! She took her first nap in her own crib this afternoon under the watchful eye of the Jayhawk.


E was styling in her knee highs today. The new A/C made the house just a little chilly.


As you can see, we have lots of help with the baby.

What A Week!

Our first week home with Baby E flew by! It is hard to believe that she is already 12 days old!

Aunt M. was FINALLY back from Argentina and spent most of the week cuddling E...


She seems to be as obsessed with her full head of hair as the rest of us...As you can see, the boys have adjusted quite nicely to E...


Our other new baby.... The A/C went out the day we brought E home. What timing!!!

Baby E's first walk in the Snugli. She curled up in a ball and seemed to enjoy the walk very much.

The boys got hair cuts...

Grandma S. has been here since E was born and has been helping us out so much! We are sure going to miss her when she is gone. Dad has been changing diapers and rocking E when she is upset... he has learned so much in such a short amount of time!

Take Care!

No News...

Well.... after our Dr. visit last week and a few uncomfortable nights Dad and I were convinced that babyhawk would be making an appearance sooner than later. So far - no sign of her! We have another Dr. appt tomorrow - so hopefully we will have a better idea of how things are progressing. My theory is that babyhawk is waiting on Grandma - who will be here tomorrow afternoon.... We'll keep you posted.
