Lola's First week, my most favorite moments... and THANK YOU!!

So, she's been home exactly a week, and she's now a week and 2 days old, and we can't get enough of the cutest little bug ever. We wanted to first say thanks a million times over for all our sweet & wonderful friends and family for your outpouring of support, help, meals and friendly faces. We're so excited to share this time with those we love, and can't tell you how much it means to us, all you've done for us!! Thank you.

Lola had some adorable moments this week, and I wanted to share them. Starting with the day we got home, our good friends the Thaut's came over with dinner, and Brian set up his camera in her nursery, we got an adorable shot of her in her crib... all stretched out. She so long!!

Then there was the night I bundled her up in the "swaddle me" blanket that Jeri my sweet mother-in-law gave us ... she looked like she was squirming around in a potato sack. So adorable. We're still not sure if this helps her to sleep better, as we haven't had much sucess these last 7 nights... :)


I pulled out the boppy pillow that Teylor and Kim gave me (bless your little hearts for saving my back)... within 30 secons of laying it down on the couch, Stella... jumped right in, and got cozy, it was pretty funny and so typical of our sweet little puppy. She's a sucker for this kind of stuff.


Here is one of the other day when we were with Zack's family, and Jeri (my mother-in-law) was burping little Lola, she looks so cute, like a little monkey. I love this girl!!


Okay, and I saved my favorite moment for last. Of course we had to figure out how to bathe our little one this week... quite an intimidating challenge for first time parents... :) However, we quickly learned that little Lola LOVES her bath. It is the cutest thing. She gets all peaceful, and almost smiles when we pour the warm water over her. She's the cutest when she's on her belly, she looks like a frog... Get's us chuckeling every time!!!


What an awesome week! We love you Little Lola!
