Our First Week...






has been such a whirlwind! We've been busy but also having fun getting used to our newly expanded family. Mommy and Luke were very happy to have Daddy home all week. We napped a lot and Mommy got to rest whenever she needed to. We were sad to see Daddy go back to work today.


Luke's first trip was to Target at 3 days old...Blake's 1st excursion too at 4 days old. When your Mommy has worked there for 8 years it becomes a rite of passage! Then we visited Mommy's doctor, made a trip to Costco and Luke had his 1st dr. appt. He is down to 8lbs and is in the 50-75% percentile for all of the major stats (height, weight, head). The doctor said he was just great.


Most of the days are spent sleeping and eating, but we do get a few hours where Luke is alert and taking in all of his new surroundings. Blake loves to "hug" Luke before he leaves for school and as soon as he gets home. He is doing a really good job holding him and has been very gentle. He tried to teach Luke to crawl (see photo above) one evening which was super cute to see. He was also very excited to wear his "big brother" tshirt to school on Monday. It scored him some major attention with his new and old teachers. The teachers from his infant room were very excited to hear about our new addition as he will be joining them in 11 short weeks.
Overall it's been a great first week and we are so lucky to have been able to spend this time together. We are so thankful for our two beautiful, healthy and happy little boys!
