Long Time No Blog

So, everyone told us that life goes hectic after having a baby. We thought, how can that be, all they do is sleep, eat and poop. By the frequency of our blogging, it looks like everyone was right.

Here's what's happened since the last update:

- My family came in for the day a couple of Saturdays ago. Bella's great grandparents, Great Aunt Joyce, Great Aunt Amy, and Nonna made the trip.
-That same day, Bella watched some of her first Memphis game, unfortunately, they couldn't beat Tennessee.

- She's started cooing more & turning her head quite a bit.

- She got to visit with her Aunt Rachel & cousin Grace who were in town this weekend.


- We all went to church together for the first time on Sunday. Bella slept the whole time, looks like next time we can't get her to sleep, we'll just call Phil and get him to practice his next sermon on her! :)

Doing Great

Bella & Karen are both doing great. Bella had a doctor's appointment at one week & she'd already gained an ounce over her birth weight. Typically, pediatricians like for babies to be back to their birthweight by week two...needless to say, the kid has an appetite. For those wondering, Ike has been great through all of this, he kisses her every time he can get close enough.

She sleeps really well some nights, and so-so on other nights. We really haven't had a night that's been too bad...yet.

Here are new pictures, a couple are from her first bath (which wasn't a fun experience for her).
