Swaddle me please!!

Hi everyone!  I just got back from NY last night and I had such a good time!  I got to see my great grandma, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and all of my moms friends who live up there.  The nights get much cooler up in NY so my mom decided to use a fleece swaddler a friend of hers got for me, and I just LOVE it!  I only wake up one time during the night now so dad says he is going out to buy 10 more of them, lol!  I will be 6 weeks this Thursday and I still like to be on my belly, I like to be changed, I still love baths, I am cooing a lot now, and my hair in the front is also starting to grow back a little.
Today my aunt Carol, great aunt Mim, and my grandma came to visit.  I was a pretty good girl for them :)

My cousin Kaylyn in NY is such a big helper!

My moms friend Corrine and her daughter Elena. 

They came to visit me before I went up to NY.

I LOVE my swaddler, so comfy!

I don't know why everyone was laughing at me, what is so funny?

My Aunt Carol who lives in Michigan.  So glad she came to visit!

My great Aunt Mim

More pictures!

This past Friday one of my daddy's friends came to the house to take some pics of me.  Mr. Jim does photogrpahy on the side and did an awesome job!  I had so much fun that I stayed awake the WHOLE time.  After that we went to Babies R Us to order my crib, it is really nice and should be here next week.  Mom says not to get too excited about it because I wont be sleeping in it for awhile :)  Daddy has been working on my nursery and will start painting it tomorrow hopefully .  My aunt Angela and my cousins Macy and Adella came to visit today, it was lots of fun they held me the whole time.  I love being held :)  Below are some of the pictures that Mr. Jim took on Friday.

My dog Abby

4 Weeks!

Wow, can you belive it I am 4 weeks today!  Time has really flown by!  My hair is falling out in the front but daddy says it will grow back, so not to worry :) Mommy and I went shopping today and I got 2 new dresses for church and they are really cute.  Tomorrow I am getting my pictures taken and I think my dog Abby will be in some pictures with me, so that will be fun.  Right now I am really good at spitting up and giving nice big smiles after I eat :o  I also like to lay on my tummy and still very much enjoy baths.  Here are a few pics we took this past week, enjoy!

Daddy did his own little photo shoot, he loves taking pictures of me!

My Aunt Angela came to visit with my cousins Macy and Adella.

My grandma and grandpa on their last day here.  Can't wait to see them next week!

Zachary giving me big kisses, SMOOCH!

I LOVE laying on my belly.

3 Weeks Old!

Hi everyone!  Can you believe I am 3 weeks old already?!  My mommy and daddy said now that I am 3 weeks old I can type my own posts :).  I went to the pediatrician yesterday and I weigh 9lbs 2oz. and am 21inches long.  I had a little bit of an upset stomach the other day but am feeling better now. I LOVE taking baths it really relaxes me.  Mom says we are going to be spa buddies when I get older, sounds like fun!  I met my dog Abby finally and she just loves me and I liker her too.  Abby likes to lay near me and I definitely don't mind, she is a good little dog.  My grandma and grandpa from NY are leaving tomorrow to go home and that makes me sad but mom says we will see them again in a few weeks.

Getting Settled

We are so happy to be home!! It has been so nice seeing everyone and we look forward to seeing many more! Yesterday was a very busy day with Holly's sister and nieces staying with us. They joined us for Sophia's first day at church where she was introduced to so many people. Sophia then returned home where several other friends stopped by to visit and spend time with her. Holly's sister and nieces had to return home yesterday and the girls have already expressed how much they miss Sophia.

Holly's parents drove down to our house today and will be spending the week with us. It was so nice to have Grandpa here with our little girl

Finally Home

Last night at a little after 10 pm we pulled into our driveway. We were met by Holly's sister Nikki and her 3 girls who drove down from New York to spend the weekend with us. We also noticed that our friends Jodi, Ella, and Corey decorated our yard with signs and balloons and also hung a banner on the front of our house welcoming Sophia home. It was a very nice surprise to see that as we pulled into our driveway. Nikki and the girls then jumped at the opportunity to take care of Sophia while Holly and I unpacked and got settled back into our house. It was a late night for everyone but only helped Sophia sleep even better last night :-)

Today we had a very nice visit from Jodi and her son Corey who could not wait to see Sophia. Corey got a chance to hold Sophia and showed what a great "big brother" he is going to be to his "little sister".

We look forward to seeing many of our friends in church tomorrow and throughout this week. Holly and I are both off from work and are anxious for everyone to see Sophia. Holly's Mom and Dad will be driving down from New York on Monday to spend the week with us. Please keep them in prayer as they travel on Monday.

Heading Home!!!

We just got the phone call releasing us from Virginia. We are packing up and heading home. Thank you all for your prayers.
