Wow!
We have been home with our incredibly beautiful daughter for 3 days now.
This is only her 4th night in her new bed.
We are so incredibly blessed to experience so much in those three days.
Here are a couple milestones that make me smile:
HER FIRST TOOTH! Yes, our delightful daughter poked her first tooth through on the flights home from Ethiopia!! Crazy that she did so well even though her poor mouth must have been bothering her.
Her first doctor's appointment. She officially weighs 16lbs and 1 1/2 ounces. She is at the bottom of the chart for height and weight but we aren't worried she'll catch up. Her head size is right on track though. The doctor had no concerns about her health what so ever. YEH!
Her first Jolly Jumper experience! She hasn't really figured out the jumping yet but she does like it and it is great for her core as her gross motor has some catching up to do.
Her first car seat experience! This was on the way home from the airport and she HATED it. She has since been in once more and it wasn't quite so traumatic. Mom just knows to bring food and bottle for car rides until she is adjusted to be buckled in.
Her first stroller ride. We have been blessed with great weather here and today D enjoyed a short walk in the stroller which she rather enjoyed. It was with her very new cousin Levi who slept the entire time.
Her first swing ride! Again with the warm weather D rather enjoys being outside. She loved the swing in the play equipment at our house.
We are so blessed that D is adjusting to her new surroundings so well. She has taken well to her new mom and "dada". We will continue to encourage this by meeting her every need as soon as we can. We continue to rock her to sleep, respond to her wimpers with cuddles and hugs, change her, feed her and in general terms "spoil" her so she knows that we will be there for her at all times.
We appreciate everyone's understanding that you can't hold her or dote on her like you would like to but are so thankful for you support!
She still has her nights a little mixed up and her poop can only be described as "explosive" but mom and dad are beyond grateful for the wonderful gift that God has granted them.
