Video from Grandma

Last week and the week before we spent at grandma and grandpa's in Indiana.  We had a fabulous visit and have lots of photos to show for it (coming soon).  Grandma recorded this of Edith on one of our last days there.

7 weeks old! and SMILING!

On Tuesday Edith was 7 weeks old--she had a doctors appointment and a big round of immunizations (poor gal!).  She's up to 10 lbs 10 oz (50th percentile); 22 1/2 inches tall (60th percentile); and has a head circumference of 15.5 inches (70th percentile).
I can't believe this is my last week home with her--I'll miss her dreadfully when I return to work!
This week she started smiling in a much more controlled way--it's so great to see her big toothless grins.

 

 

 she loves the owl toy Morgan bought her!

 

 

 She absolutely adores North and he feels the same about her.  They are great buddies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 And here are some older photos (pre-being able to control her smile)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Growing gal!

It's been a fun week watching Edith grow grow grow.  Last night she lost her umbilical cord stump and today she had a pediatrician appointment -- she's up to 8 lbs 11.5 oz (55 %ile); 20.25 inches long (50 %ile); and 14 3/8 inches head circumference (55 %ile).  The doctor checked her out and declared that all seems perfect.  I couldn't agree more.  Here are some photos of the last few days.

Snuggly sweet gal

Our first week home alone together has been a bit challenging (like when North managed to lock me out of the house when I was taking out the trash!) but also a lot of fun--full of sweet snuggly time and getting to watch the two kiddos bond.  Here are some photos from the past couple days.

 North got brave enough to hold her (while sitting on my lap--thus making it hard to get a picture).
