2 weeks with an angel


Today marks 2 weeks since Rebecca joined our family. So much has happened and changed in 2 weeks.
Lots of firsts.

1st tub bath July 8th-4 days old Absolutely LOVED the water. Cried when getting dried off and mom discovered that you need a diaper on quickly after a bath to avoid wetness!

1st Girls night out-July 8th-4 days old The boys were fishing with Cub Scouts and Corrine wanted to go to McDonald's for dinner and she insisted on eating there, then to Hyvee to pick up a must have medicine for mom. While we were eating I had Rebecca in her car seat hidden so no one even knew she was there with us. During dinner she started to cry. You could see all the eyes wondering where the newborn cry was coming from.
1st T-ball game July 9th-5 days I promised Ammon that Rebecca would come to his last T-ball game, and because she came earlier she was able to make it to his last 2 games. He enjoyed coming and checking on her during the game. When he didn't want to play we'd say Rebecca wanted him to and he'd go back out and play.

Umbilical cord falls off-July 11th- 7 days old it ended up scabbing over and the scab feel off on the 15th.
1st photo shoot-July 11th Uncle Justin came to the house to take your picture. You were wide awake and happy the entire time. We got some really adorable pictures.



Going to church July 12th-8 days old

1st dtr apt-July 17th 13 days Weight 7 lbs 14 oz 25%, Height 20.3 " 50%, Head 13.4" 15%
1st time meeting Herky & Perky July 18th 14 days old We were at the Sibling Group Family Picnic when Herky, Perky, Batman and some cheerleaders came to meet us. I wanted to get a picture of Rebecca with Herky. He sat down to play with a boy and i was able to get just Rebecca and Herky together. Then Perky came and asked if he could also hold her. I'm sure it's not everyday they get to hold such a little baby.

What a busy two weeks. I can't believe all that you've been up to. Sounds like you and Rebecca are doing well. She is just as cute as ever. I LOVE that first picture. The ones from her photo shoot are adorable too. How exciting that she's already met Herky and Perky even. She's bound to be a Hawkeye fan!
