1 Week Old

Ivy turned 1 week old yesterday and it was a day of firsts.

She woke up to her first diaper explosion which led to her first real bath. She didn't seem to mind this bath because she was in the water not just getting a sponge bath. Let's hope this continues. She seems to be taken by water. If she's fussy, she calms right down when we turn on the sink.

Once we got her all clean, dressed and fed we decided it was too gorgeous of a day to spend inside so we took her on her first walk with Charlie-Bill. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. Charlie did well and wasn't really phased by the fact that we were toting a stroller on the walk.

After the walk we dropped Charlie at home and walked over to Holy Cross School where Keegan works. Ivy was met by Keegan's class as they headed to the church to practice their mass. Then we went inside for Ivy's first visit with Sr. Ruth and Sr. Mary.

Last night Julian and Amanda came over for a visit and some pizza. Ivy slept most of the time they were here. Then she proceeded to be up all night first with Ben and then with me.

When she took her morning nap today, we put her in her crib on her back and swaddled. She decided that she would prefer to sleep on her side, so she rolled over!!! Um, we aren't ready for that yet. :-)

Today she had a visit from grandma Joanne and grandma Connie and Kathy Kadera. She was awake a good part of the day which is also a first, so I'm hoping it leads to a first night of sleep in blocks. :-)

Tomorrow is Ivy's first trip to the pool to meet Ben's team and all of the parents.
