Dana's first week at home has been a good one. She is just about the easiest baby (we'll see how long this lasts but we are loving it right now!). We have had lots of hands on deck to help us transition to a household of four. Sue has been here for over a week now and we certainly would not be as well rested or as well fed without her! Alice has been loving all the visitors as well. She has been spoiled with lots of quality time with Grandma Sue, Grandpa Chris and Gumma and Gogo and even Auntie Kristi! She is also finding out that with babies come lots of gifts and everything that arrives she claims as "mine." We are working on her sharing... But so far, so good! We couldn't be happier!
The picture below was taken on Dana's first morning at home. Alice was getting ready for school when all of a sudden we hear her say "I did it." Not knowing what she was so pleased with, we went into the living room to find that she had hunted down a pacifier for Dana (it was hidden away on the dining room table) and placed it right next to her! It was very cute and quite impressive!
Alice has been a very good sister to Dana but she certainly is testing the limits of what she's allowed to do with Dana. She is generally very gentle holding Dana but showed she can be pretty rough with her too (some squeezing and then a quick hit to the head - yikes!). Reeves and Alice had to have a very serious chat about how we treat Dana. Alice did not enjoy this!
This morning we had our first walk with Dana! It was a beautiful morning and it was a fun but pokey walk as Alice insisted on pushing her sister nearly the whole the way!
Today Dana tested out her new swing from Gumma as both Janet and Emma seem to love their swings. I think we found another fan in Dana. Looks like we are going to get a lot of mileage out of this one.
Dana has been incredible so far. She is a sleepy, sleepy girl, but so laid back for those brief moments when she is awake. She barely made a sound last night. She chirped just enough for her mother to know it was time to feed and then she peacefully went back to sleep. We are only now having an appreciation for the fact that Alice may not have been a very easy baby!
That's the update for now! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

And here I thought I could make it a week without seeing Dana...she is too cute! Looks like I will be visiting again sooner than later!
