Her First Week

Sam has had a busy first week of life.
She spends a lot of time swaddled in either this bouncy seat (that she is now sleeping in every night!) or another one that we were given by Aunt Lori that lives in our family room with us.


Such a cute little face!


This is right after her first sponge or rather washcloth bath. She did not enjoy it at all, but boy was her hair soft and beautiful for a few hours after the bath.

Not a great picture, but you can see the wet hair! And she loves when her fingers find her mouth or even more when her thumb happens to find her mouth and she can suck. Hopefully soon I will catch that on camera.

Okay, so the temperature broke 45 degrees and we decided we needed to go for a family walk. We bundled Sam up, you couldn't even really tell that there was a baby in the stroller, and ventured out of the house. She lasted to the end of the block and then she started screaming. So we turned around and went home. But we captured the short walk on camera anyway.




So these next two pictures are trying to show how she is already attempting to hold her head up. Chris loves to have her laying on his chest while she is awake and giving her time to practice lifting her head.




After a few minutes she tends to wear herself out and fall asleep! Which works out perfectly when all Chris wants to do is lay on the couch and watch March Madness.
Hope you enjoyed all the pictures from this first week.
