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.
