A few firsts!

First day home! And being very smothered!

My first bath: which I didn't like...at all

Ah that's a little better now!

I have to say that every other bath I've given her she's been very content up to the point that I lift her out to dry her off!!

My first Christmas! I don't remember much of it since I slept through most of it!

My first nap with daddy!

My first cloth diaper!

First time in my room:

Looking forward to many more firsts for our little Alison!

Alison Week 3

14 days old

Sweet precious face!

16 days old

It's hard to tell in the picture but her celery colored diaper matches her outfit today!

17 days old

All swaddled up in mommy's arms!

18 days old

Not the best pic but I guess not every day can be our best day!

19 days old

She's nursing like a champ and her cheeks look like they could pop!!

20 days old

Well she's fitting in with the theme of her room and looks like a baby bird here!!

365~11

A little treat for mommy before diaper changes!!!

A visit from the kids!

And the gang's all here!!!

Well little Jakey was the first to hold the newest sister!!! And he did great, he actually leaned to kiss her and not bite her (though I'm sure that day will come, just not today thankfully!)

He didn't want to be in the pic so he was leaning out of the shot!!

But then started to inspect the one who's going to steal some of his attention from mama!!

Giving her a nice rub on the head!!

Ethan has his turn!

Then Braden!!

For some reason(there's just too many of them!) I don't have a photo of Gabe holding her in the hospital. But I did get this one the next day at home!

Madi's 1st time holding her sister....

And her 2nd...

And just before leaving the hospital her 3rd!!! She sure loves her!!!

And just like my friend Heidi I too cannot get a decent pic of the kiddos on the first try but one try here was all I had. So here it is, lazy lids and all!!

365~10

Madi was trying to show Jake how to do a cartwheel!! I should of had it on video!!!!

My big boys shoveling to help lighten the load for daddy. They were so excited to get out there and help out. And they did a great job.

ALL SMILES from our two littles!!!
