One week old

Sophia Caris turned one week old on Friday. It is so amazing how fast time goes by. I truly understand now why people say savor every moment!

One Week Old

We went back to the doctor this past Thursday to check Sophi's weight progress. She weighed 6.11 ounces when we went in on Monday and by Thursday had gained a little over 7 ounces putting her at 7.2 ounces! We were given the go ahead to let her sleep longer at night which has been very nice!! She has been a good sleeper up to this point and we feel very blessed.

Since we have been home Sophi has had many firsts. She went on her first walk, had her first bath, wore her first bow, took her first bottle, took a first visit to see good friends, went to her first restaurant for a meal and allowed mom and dad to go on a first date since she was born.

Kyle and Lahela - First visitors to the house

We are having so much fun getting to know our precious little girl! She is such a joy. Here is a video of one of our favorite times of the day, Sophi's awake time when she smiles her sweet smile!

Lolly and Pops will be leaving Tuesday and Josh and I will officially be on our own as parents for a few weeks before more visitors arrive. We are excited to begin establishing our new routine as a family but nervous about all that will involve. We know we will make mistakes but are grateful to know that God will give us the tools and abilities we need to be the best parents we can be for our baby girl.

More updates to come so stay tuned!
