Firsts

This week Evie had many firsts (of course!) We had our first doctor's appointment, and she was already back up to 7lbs 2oz (she was 6lbs 14oz on discharge day).

Then, she had her first nap in her swing....

......her first bath in the sink (she hardly cried at all!!) Andrew helped wash her hair and her arms...then he was done. :)

.....her first walk to the park

....and her first flowers (hand picked by Andrew!)

Evie also went to her first party! A 60th birthday party for her Grandpa Barrett. I forgot the camera, so I don't have any pictures. She slept the whole time in the Baby Bjorn, which worked out very well for everyone! :)

There has been a lot of adjusting this week, but in all everything is going well. Every day gets just a little bit easier. She seems to be a pretty easy baby, just has her days and nights mixed up a bit, but we're working on turning that around with some success. She is definitely not bothered by noise, prefers to be held than in a swing or bouncer, but is doing awesome at sleeping in her bed (the pack n play for now). She's not too dependant on pacifiers, and eats (on average) every 3 hours. I think it's been a little hard on Andrew (and me too) that we don't have 100% of our time to give to him, but we're all getting used to it. I think it's really going to help out a ton that he's starting preschool this week, so he'll have his own time to do his own thing which has nothing to do with us or the baby. On top of preschool, I'm going to be sending him to his babysitter 1 day per week -- he has friends there that he loves to play with, and I think that'll be good for him too. Plus, it will keep a little consistency in his schedule. I fully intend on having a 'date night' with him once Evie gets a little older, just so he can see he's still the apple of my eye! :)
