1 week old..

Our sweet, little peanut is officially 1 week old.  What a week it was!  This little girl did more in her first week of life than Kensley probably did in her first few months!  To say this first week was drastically different than our first week with Kensley would be an understatement.  I think I was lucky to shower during that first week with Kensley, let alone leave the house.

We ended up getting home from the hospital late Tuesday afternoon.  We spent Tuesday evening relaxing and hanging out with Kens.  Wednesday started our busy week with a meeting with our realtor and sales person for our (potential at that time) new house.  Avery tagged right along with us while Kens stayed with Nana.  We took our first family trip out that evening and went to get ice cream. 

On our way for ice cream

First ride with both girls

 Thursday we had some service done on our house in the morning and then headed out for Avery's first doctor's appointment, followed by lunch and a few errands.  Kens once again stayed with Grammy while we were gone.  We went out for a boat ride with Grammy and Grampy on Thursday evening which was then followed by a visit from some of our friends. 

Avery's first boat ride...this is what she did the whole time.

Kens loves the boat!

Looking forward to driving.

The big day wore her out.

Friday morning, we spent several hours signing on our new home and working through paperwork with our realtor.  Again Kens stayed home and Avery tagged along and was a dream.  We were finally able to get some naps in Friday afternoon before our newborn photo shoot at our house with the photographer. 

Saturday and Sunday were busy with packing, running errands, family playtime and rest.  Jeremy and I were able to squeeze in a quick dinner date out Saturday night while Grammy and Aunt Kym stayed with both girls.

 

It's been a quick and busy week and we can't believe little Avery is already a week old!  She is such a sweet little baby and really only fusses/cries when she's really hungry or cold (specifically during diaper changes).  She is already very patient with her big sister and takes the jabs, hugs and often not so gentle touches in stride.  She is still a petite little thing, but seems to be quickly putting on weight.  We had her first doctor's appointment on Thursday and the doctor seemed pleased with her progress.  She weighed in at 6 lbs 7 oz (14%ile) and was still 19 inches.  We couldn't believe she weighed that much already considering she was only 5 lbs 15 oz when they weighed her at the hospital late Monday evening.  Despite her weight gain, the doctor still wants us to come back for a weight check this week.

 

Here are a few pictures of our peanut.

 

How Avery spends most of her days

So sweet

Getting ready for her first bath

She seemed to enjoy it...especially getting her hair washed.
