Happy Birthday

I love birthdays so you know I have to acknowledge the 1 week mark ;)  This first week has flown by but Kara is making great progress, she's gaining weight and is a great sleeper so far!  We've already had a few outings out of the house including a trip to the Farmers Market and a Newborn Photo Shoot.  We can't wait to get the pictures back as the sneak peek we saw looked so stinking cute!!!

Bathtime

Kara had her first spa day today, we filed her nails and gave her a sponge bath.  What service you get as a newborn ;)

Kare-Bear

We're on a roll with nicknames, take one look at this picture and you'll see how irresistible our Kare-Bear is!

Kara the Kitty

As most of you know, we had a really hard time picking out a name for our little girl.  The day before we went into the hospital I was talking to Alli and she asked if we had a name yet, I told her we would be picking one out tomorrow and she had a few suggestions for me; Doggie, Kitty, or Horsey.  So in honor of Alli, one of Kara's nicknames is now Kara the Kitty ;)

Mover & A Shaker

We are starting to feel like everyday is a big day and offers something new to celebrate.  Today was Kara's first walk outside and first doctor's appointment.  Which also led us to discover that she is a mover and a shaker from day one, she loves anything with motion including the swing & bouncy seat.  Lucky for us we now have lots of tricks up are sleeve if/when we need to calm her down. 

Home Sweet Home

Today is another big day, we were discharged from the hospital and got to take Kara home to meet her Big Sis, Cali Dog!  Cali is adjusting well and seems very intrigued by the new addition ;)
