1 Week Old Already!!

Checking out the big guy!
The tradition continues. I found this penguin and had to buy it for her for her monthly photos. She wouldn't look at the camera, she was so interested in the penguin. She is such a happy little girl, very quiet and content. All our babies have been content but she seems more so than the other two - maybe it is just because I am SO grateful she is a happy baby as the other 2 are so full of energy. She is sleeping 3-4 hours at a time and nursing like a champion. Her color is great, just a little yellow tinge in the corners of her eyes and at 5 days she was 8lbs 1oz - only down 3 oz from her birth weight. She is awake a little more often now and starting to make little baby noises. Thankfully she has settled in her car seat and not screaming - we drive so much a sreaming baby in a car seat would not be bearable. The newness of their little sister is wearing off Katie & Liam, although they still love her and ask about her as soon as they wake up in the morning, they are not so "obsessed" with her. They've had a fun 2 weeks having completed their swimming lessons and each passed their levels. We celebrated by taking them to Dairy Queen.
Enjoy some pictures of the week...
Cross eyed!
Big eyes!
Bright eyed and busy tailed
1 week old
Bryan came out the front door the other day to find Liam with this salamander in his hands, not sure where he found him but he was pretty intrigued by the little critter. He certainly is a boy and had a hard time parting with his new friend!
Look Daddy!

Sitting him on the stool
5 days old - our Chiro gave her the "cervical pillow" as a gift - she certainly seems more comfy with it as it does t job of holding her head up.
We finally got around to drinking the bottle of champagne I bought to celebrate Rachel's birth - I bought when I was about 38 weeks pregnant. I wasn't feeling like making a cake so Co-Op graciously made one for us to enjoy. The kids enjoyed the little celebration, Rachel didn't really care, but remained happy despite being woken from her nap.

Katie LIKED the champers- she kept stealing more. Liam not so much, took a sip and then screwed up his nose, wouldn't even pretend to take another one for a photo.
Daddy & his little girlie
