Settling in!

It is hard to believe that Alyssa is already 2 weeks old. As of today, she weighed in at 7 pounds 15 ounces! She is growing perfectly!

We have been blessed to have much family and friends around to welcome Alyssa and give big sister Lexi lots of attention! Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa, Grammy and Papa, Uncle Adam, Auntie Rachel and Uncle Nick for coming up from Vancouver to visit. We look forward to more time together. We feel so lucky to have two healthy and beautiful girls. Our family feels complete now, life is good.

Grandma meeting Alyssa for the first time!

Grandma and Grandpa are in love again!

So peaceful on Daddy's chest (insert hairy chest Chris joke here).

Does it get any sweeter than that?

What?

Sacked out after a big meal.

Lexi loves her "baby stister" and has been full of hugs and kisses since she arrived. The other day they were laying together on the floor in the living room and I heard Lexi turn to Alyssa and say "I like you." It was the sweetest thing ever.

Just hangin' out on the floor!

Lexi has turned into a big helper. She will throw diapers away, help burp Alyssa , give her the pacifier and sing to her if she's crying. She mimicks how we talk to Alyssa. Today when Alyssa was fussy, she went over to her and said "What's the matter sweetie?" How can it be that my baby has suddenly become the big and grown up one? They grow up so fast, it is such a reminder to us to cherish these times...even when we are sleep deprived. :)
