1 Month

Kinsley is 1 month old today!! We had a fun photo shoot this morning and will be doing some professional pictures in a week. Unfortunately her doctor's appointment got rescheduled until the 12th so I won't be able to post her current length and weight until then.

Settling In

It's hard to believe that in 3 days Kinsley will be 3 weeks old. Time is flying by and in the past week Michael and I have definitely noticed that she is growing and changing. She is still sleeping for 2-3 hours at a time before wanting to eat so that has made things go pretty smoothly. I'm hoping this pattern continues, but also know that Kinsley likes to show that she is her own little person. Tuesday night she decided to boycott the pack'n'play in our bedroom in favor of her crib in her own room. She is also starting to put her hands up on her bottle and gets mad when her pacifier falls out and she can't put it back in herself. And just today I found her sleeping on her side when I went to check on her.

Last Sunday Michael's family was able to come visit and Kinsley got to meet her Aunts Stephanie and Jennifer. It was a really fun day and nice to see everyone. We are looking forward to getting to see all of our families again soon. This weekend we don't have anyone on the docket, but it will be nice to have some low key days with both of us home to enjoy our baby. I'm also looking forward to being able to drive as of tomorrow!

Another swing picture. Does she look different?

Welcome and Week 1

With the arrival of Kinsley Shea we decided it was time to start a blog of our own. Our hope is to keep everyone posted as she grows and the events in our life. Kinsley is now 1 week old and doing great. She's had lots of visitors this week- Grandma and Grandpa Benson, Grandma and Grandpa Owens, Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Cara, and Cousin Gabe, and Great Grandma and Grandpa Owens. We are looking forward to next weekend when her other Aunts Stephanie and Jennifer can come visit. Right now Kinsley loves eating and she is also starting to like laying on the Boppy and looking around. And now to what everyone wants- pictures!
