Mittens and Hats

Snoozing in her favorite head wear.

She chose a new hat and then wove her old one into mittens.

Hat tricks.

Siesta in the swing.

Precious Cakes gained two whole pounds between Christmas Eve and January 15th! Everyone here is staying happy, healthy and working hard. We are keeping warm during the heart of winter and looking forward to the next milestone on January 28th; the Original Due Date.

One Month

Lupita thinks she is the baby too.

Getting ready for her one month doctor visit.

Happy One Month Birthday!

Sling

First time in the swing

With papa in the sling

She liked the sling so much she was hard to rouse

The sling has been great for mom and Edythe. Megan can do her chores and Edythe can offer her opinions on cooking and jewelery and such. Edythe has also discovered the swing as of tonight and is snoozing the evening away.

New Years Eve

Edythe and Megan ready for the New Year

Packed in for the ride.

Edythe and Papa in the morning.

Edythe had a big day out to the lab to get a little blood drawn. She woke up for about thirty seconds of the trip. Matt and Megan spent their first time away from Edythe for about two hours while Grandma Mary and Grandma Connie watched her. Now Team Dean is settling in to welcome the new year and all it brings.

The Journey Home

Today was the day Precious Cakes broke out of the hospital. She missed most of it as she slept all the way back home. Content in her HUGE car seat. Some nice firemen let us stop by their station and check the oxygen level in her blood and then it was over the hills and through the woods back home. She blew in on a snow storm two weeks ago and arrived in a snow storm today. She is eating well and adjusting to the new environment. Mama and Papa are glad to be at their home with their daughter to get this whole thing started.
