2 Week Baby Well Check...

Gunnar had his 2 week baby well check today. He is growing and eating like a champ! Our little guy weighs 10 lbs 6 oz (95 %) and is 22 inches long (95 %). His head measured 36 1/2 cm (50 %). The doctor was pretty impressed with how strong Gunnar is. He likes to pick his head up and look around and move around in a full circle on his back. He is doing everything that he is supposed to be doing at this age which is what we believed he was doing but it is always reassuring to hear that.

Visitors...

We have had a few visitors since we came home with Gunnar. Our first weekend home my mom, dad, sister, and brother-in-law came to visit. They were pretty impressed with how good Gunnar was. Hopefully, Auntie Carrie and Uncle Matt got a lot of practice in as they are expecting their first child in April--maybe they will hold out until the 17th. That would be something! A few days later the kids' Great Grandma and Harry came to visit and check out our new addition to the family. We had a great time visiting with everyone and will have to do it again! Thanks for coming and all the well wishes!

Tiny braids...

The kids got to have jammie day at Dani's and they loved it! Dani even braided the girls hair. Ada had these tiny, cute, little braids in her hair. She has not had a hair cut yet. She has worked to long to get the hair that she has. She just does not have very much hair. It is very fine and thin (not at all like my hair) so I am hoping that it thickens up but only time will tell. Dave says she looks like a little girl when she gets her hair done but he thought she looked so old with these tiny braids in her hair.

My turn...

I think it is safe to safe that Auntie Carrie loves doing Ada's hair. Ada also loves looking pretty like a princess so likes getting her hair done. I don't know whose idea it was but I turned around to find Ada doing Auntie Carrie's hair. She is growing up so fast!

Dress up time...

Ada loves playing dress up. She was one lucky little girl as she got a box of fairy dress-up clothes from Auntie Carrie and Uncle Matt. Of course she had to try out her new play clothes right away.

Happy New Year!

We celebrated Christmas on my side of the family over New Year's. Here Benjamin and Ada are enjoying some sparkling non-alcoholic bubbly! They loved it but drank too much as they each ended up with a belly ache.

All dressed and ready to go home!

Getting Gunnar ready to go home and for his first car ride. Here we are enjoying our time together with our new son. Daddy even picked out Gunnar's going home from the hospital outfit. Isn't it cute? The shirt has a little crocodile on it that says "see you later". Gunnar is quite the snuggly little bear. He certainly is spoiling us with all these cuddles and snuggles!
