Settling in at home

We have been home over one week and we are starting to settle into a routine with Miss Olivia. In some ways its like Groundhog Day over here - each day broken up into 3 hour segments of eating, "playing," crying, pooping and (hopefully) sleeping.

But we are starting to get the hang of it and have figured out a few tricks. The good news is that we know Olivia loves having her cheek rubbed, her forehead rubbed or when you place your entire hand on her belly. The bad news is that those are the only tricks in our bag and when she's bored with those - its cry city!

And you may notice that our little munchkin is plumping up. She weighed 6 pounds, 12 ounces when she was born. As of this Wednesday she was 7 pounds, 1.5 ounces! Matt said she's getting his "double chin."

Here are a few pictures of our first few days at home. Luckily we have had some visitors come over to help break up the monotony of the day!

Aunt Casey came over bright and early the first Monday we were home with breakfast and balloons for our yard. So fun - now all the neighbors on Queensbury Lane know that there's a new kid on the block!



Sweet Aunt Kate brought us a much needed and DELICIOUS meal (complete with homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches!!)

Snuggling/glaring at daddy after we gave/traumatized her with her first real bath (for those of you who read Matt's last post, this is when the "crazy eyes" really came out):


Cuddling with mommy before bed.


And our little cutie turned ONE WEEK old on Tuesday! Matt and I both can't believe how drastically different our lives have become in one short week. But we're loving (almost) every minute of it!
