Almost Two Weeks Old!!!

Our second photo shoot went much better than the first. This time we were able to get in a LOT of costume changes!  Here is Mom's favorite picture...


She is such a calm and peaceful baby, our family is truly blessed!



 Mom is having WAY to much fun with her...

 

Half way through Presley got tired and fell asleep.


It worked out well because we were able to change her outfits quickly and get some shots in without disrupting her.




 



We just can't get enough of this kid- she is AMAZING!!!

Time for some Photos...

 With Presley turning ONE WEEK OLD, Mom decided it was time for a photo shoot.  We all dressed up in our new fancy pink dresses and put on our best smiles.  Here are some of our favorites:





Once we had taken a few shots, it was time for Presley to join the party!



Macie and I took turns holding our new baby sister- we are SO proud!!!





Back inside the house Aunt Hayley gave Presley a break from pictures and helped her practice making silly faces...

 

Presley had some pretty good silly faces...


 Dressed for photos, Presley looked a little overwhelmed...





Despite everyone's best efforts, she looked the happiest when she was being held...




 Mom wasn't ready to give up, so she tried a few more pictures.






By  the end of her photo shoot Presley was exhausted and ready for a nap.




We all think that she did fairly well considering she is only one week old.  Mom is already planning her next "shoot";  This poor kid has no idea what she is in for...

First Week Home!

Presley's first night at home went extremely well.  She slept a ton, as did Mom, and we didn't hear her cry at all.


3 Days Old:
After her morning feeding she took her first trip to Costco with Mom and Dad!!!


Mom was glad to be out of bed and moving around, and Presley slept the whole time!


Macie and I stayed at home with Grandma and played Angry Birds.


Back at home, Presley continued to sleep while the rest of us cleaned the house and played.
 

In the afternoon Aunt Hayley and John came over for dinner.  Hayley spent some good quality time with Presley,


 as did Hollywood...


 When Mom took Presley upstairs to feed her, Aunt Hayley made us some box cars and we had races in the back yard- talk about AWESOME!!!


Hayley and Dad took turns pulling us up and down the hill- we laughed the whole time!


 After dinner that night the whole family was exhausted.  Mom and Presley crashed out pretty early,


and Macie and I enjoyed some time with Grandma.  In the morning we got ready for school, and Grandma packed her car to head back to California.   Mom and Dad were very grateful for all the help she provided, and Presley was glad Grandma was there when she was born.


On Monday we all resumed our normal routine; Grandma drove back to CA and Dad returned to work.  Surprisingly, Mom did a pretty good job on her first day alone with 3 kids.  She did a lot of driving to and from between feedings, but managed to get everyone everywhere they needed to be on time.


At bedtime that night, Presely watched as Mom put curlers in my hair.  I couldn't take my eyes off my baby sister- I love her SO much!


 6 Days Old:

It was time to get back into the swing of things, so Mom brought Presley to gymnastics with Macie.  


Mom was pretty excited to show her off, and couldn't stop staring at her in awe- she is just so cute!


Presley had been an absolute joy, and an incredible addition to our family.
