Ashlyn's First Week Home

Ashlyn's first week was home was fulll of family and of course, pictures!




Grandma Carol & Grandpa Kerry were there to help...


and just cuddle Ashlyn



First Bath at Home



Look at those long skinny feet!








Ellia wanted to hold her a lot (but not for very long) and she really liked her tiny hands. She also kept touching her own cheek and trying to help Ashlyn touch her cheek. She did this a lot over the first few days and about a week later we figured out that she was doing the sign for brown...because as she told us later, Ashlyn has brown hair!




Grandma Carol really was a lot of help, from making dinners to just holding Ashlyn. It was really amazing how much just holding her helped me out!
The boppy made it so Ellia could hold Ashlyn by herself. "Me Do It."

She reallly was a big help the first week or so, getting us diapers, wipes, the changing pad and diaper rash ointment every time we changed a diaper...she even brought out her new doll to participate side by side.
One of my new favorite outfits...I loved how the tights are even too big around her little legs!



Both girls got a little bored with all the pictures.
Just like Ellia, Ashlyn had a pretty complexion
Ellia was definately more comfortable with this than me or Ashlyn!
