Elizabeth's First Week

The slideshow has been expanded and has comments. ->>




The sun is shining, the daffodils are blooming, blossom is on the trees and runners are out on the street getting ready for the mini marathon next weekend. The newly expanded family's first outing was a stroll winding between the freshly mowed lawns of the neighbourhood shorthly before sunset.






Elizabeth had her first bath on Monday. She wasn't convinced about how much fun bathing is, perhaps she'll enjoy the next one more. Grandma videod and photographed the whole experience. Daddy wonders how amatuer the parents must look. It will be fun to review the movie in a few months.
Maggie has plotted Elizabeth on growth charts and she's roughly at the 50th percentile for length, weight and head circumference although she is above the 95th percentile for cuteness.
Breast feeding is going very well, typically every three hours. Maggie, Jim and Grandma are taking it in turns to change, cuddle and fuss over Elizabeth through the night. She is starting to get comfortable with being left on her back, but she still prefers a cuddle.

What a lovely car seat and stroller you have!
Oh, and we were just as clueless with the second as the first...so anything you learn now will be forgotten...
