Happy 2 week Birthday, Elizabeth!

Elizabeth is 2 weeks olds today. She had her 2 week check-up this morning. She is 9 lbs and 10 oz, which is the 90th percentile for weight and 21 1/2 inches, which is the 90th percentile for height. The doctor said she is doing great!

Thank you, Nana!

This afternoon we said good-bye to Nana, who has been here helping us since Elizabeth was born. Between Elizabeth being a good night time sleeper so far and Nana helping with everything around the house, newborn craziness has not seemed that crazy so far. Thank you so much for all your help, Nana! We will miss you, but will see you very soon!

Justin Roberts concert

As I mentioned before, on Anna's birthday we took the kids to see Justin Roberts - their favorite musician. The girls loved it and so did Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma!

Happy 1 week Birthday, Elizabeth Grace!

First Bath!

Yesterday morning Elizabeth got her first sponge bath at home. Mommy, Nana, Anna, and Abby all helped! She didn't like getting her body washed so much, but once her clothes were back on, she loved getting her hair washed!

Birthday week!

As I'm sure most of you know, Elizabeth's birthday (4/30) fell right in between Anna (4/27) and Abby's (5/2) birthdays. Including Grandma (4/21) we have an amazing week of celebrations. Grandma & Grandpa arrived on 4/24 to await the arrival of the new baby. We surprised Grandma with a little party that night:

 

 

On Saturday we celebrated Anna's birthday. We started the day off going to a concert of Anna's favorite musician - Justin Roberts. For dinner we had her favorite pasta and rolls followed by a new cake recipe that she chose from a cookbook: Boston Creme Pie, which she helped Mommy make.

Then Elizabeth perfectly timed her debut by arriving on 4/30 so Mommy and Daddy could be home on 5/2 to celebrate Abby's b-day. Abby's dinner included many of her favorites - hot dog, guacamole, and watermelon. For dessert she also got a new cake that she picked out from a cookbook: Cherry Berries on a Cloud, which she helped Nana & Grandma make.

 

 

Happy Birthday to Grandma, Anna, Abby, and Elizabeth! We are looking forward to years of April/ May super celebrations!!!!

Swing Set!

Today Anna & Abby came home from a trip out to breakfast and the grocery store to find a surprise in their backyard:

Yes, I did install it on my own while taking care of Elizabeth...or maybe the company installed it :)
