Alivia - One Week Old

It is just unbelievable to us that Alivia is already one week old! It is already flying by and we are trying so hard to just enjoy every minute of all of this! Alivia is the sweetest little girl that anyone could ask for. She had a couple of long nights, but she is doing really well and sleeping for up to 5 hours at a time during the night!
She just amazes all of us! Quinton and Weston cannot get enough of her and will sit and talk to her for long periods of time. They tell her all sorts of stories and ask her all kinds of questions and she just makes noises and grunts back at them and it seems to make all of them happy! I even snuck in a shower on one of Quinton's watches (a very quick one, as I was nervous wreck)!

Alivia weighed a healthy 8lbs 4ozs at her 1 week check-up and she is doing great!


Okay..this photo shoot is over!
The boys want to hold her all of the time, so we try to work it in as much as possible!

So sweet! I just love it!

Quinton would rather hold her when she is awake so that he can talk to her. She just doesn't interact enough with him when she is sleeping!


My dear friend Tara brought her mom, Hayden and Canaan over to see Alivia and even blessed us with several meals to help get us through this first couple of weeks! I am so happy that we will have little girls to raise together! I can see many play dates and sleep overs in their future! As you can see in this picture, Hayden is just a petite little thing, so I'm thinking that Alivia will catch up to her in no time! You won't even be able to tell that there is 5 month difference in age soon!


It has been a blessed week and we are just soaking it all up! We love all of our friends and family so much! You all have been wonderful!

"My baby" will be 17 tomorrow.... Some of our most precious memories was the first few weeks when we brought him home - the girls just could not get enough of him. If he even so much as wiggled they were there to "help him"...We thought his lungs wouldn't develop as they wouldn't allow him to cry... It was so cute!
