I can't get over how fast time goes. Linzie is already a week and a half old. She had her first check up on Thursday and is doing great. She is back to her birth weight, has grown 1/2 an inch and is over the jaundice, so things are looking good. She is a great baby and is handling all the kisses and hugs she gets from Kenzie very well. We are very grateful to everyone for the calls, visits, emails, food, and gifts that have come our way. We are so blessed to be surrounded by family and good friends.
Kenzie is finding plenty to do to stay entertained, including dressing herself in winter gear and wandering around the house.
We have tried to get Kenzie outside to enjoy the sun a little the last few days (can you believe it is 40 degrees in Utah in January?). Her aunt Karlee gave her a pair of Wranglers for Christmas and although they still have room for her to grow into them, she insisted on wearing them...and looks really cute in them. She loves them, especially with her snow boots!
Linzie at one week. We will do the pictures by the bear each month to see how she is growing. We have had just over a week to remember all of the things you forget about once you don't have a newborn, like how many diapers and wipes they go through, how many clothes OxyClean saves, and how much you can love and be mesmerized by a little being who doesn't do much but eat, sleep, and poop.
And a side note---as I'm writing this, Kenzie is sitting here asking for beans to eat. Yes! Every parent's dream come true. My child is not like me and is begging to eat vegetables!!! Does it get any better than this?
