Kyle & Bethany's Little Family: March 2013

Kensi is a Week Old!

Not that I have anything to compare her to, but Kensi is a perfect little baby! She doesn't cry much and only cries when she is really hungry and I'm taking too long to get things ready. She is sleeping for 4-5 hours at night and that's really only because we wake her up to feed her. She would definitely sleep longer if we didn't wake her up. She is really good with other people holding her and always seems happy. She has been sleeping a lot in the mornings, but then is usually alert and wide eyed in the late afternoon. She just looks around taking in the world! She gets the hiccups a lot too, it is so sad, but so cute too! She seems to be a daddy's girl already. Kyle can get her to fall asleep or just quiet down in no time :) She loves just laying with him, and of course he loves it too!

Kensi weighed 8 lbs on Monday and when we took her back to the doctor on Friday, she gained 11oz! The doctor was very pleased about her weight gain and told us to keep doing what we were doing in regards to feeding. She also had a slight case of jaundice, but her coloring is coming back and they are not concerned. We have another appointment on the April 9th for her two week check up.

Some pictures from Kensi's first week of life:

You can see her hint of red hair!

First Bath

As you can see, Kensi LOVED her first bath. ha ha She was very concerned and only got a little upset when we were about finished and she got cold.

What a doll baby! We love her so much!!!!

Coming Home!

We were able to come home from the hospital Sunday evening. Kensi was a trooper! She didn't like the car seat at first but then got used to it and loved the car ride. She fell right to sleep once we started moving. At home we were greeted by my parents and ZOEY!

Introducing Zoey to her new sister! Zoey has been very sweet. She likes to know where Kensi is at all times which is so cute! She always looks in her swing and then at us to see if we are holding her. Zoey has gotten a few kisses in (with many more to come I'm sure!)

Jolynn brought the crew over to meet their cousin! The boys were so excited to meet and hold Kensi! They were so sweet and gentle with her, it was so cute. Aidan even drew Kensi a picture! Saylor could care less about Kensi, but just wait, Saylor and Kensi are going to be inseparable come next year!
