Crib Time

B loves to watch her mobile rotate above her head and listen to the classical music that plays. We are happy to report that she has also been taking naps in her crib...there's definitely a first time for everything!

We just love her so much!

Brigitta loves to sleep on her stomach, so one afternoon we gave her some "tummy time" and she slept for hours! So nice for mom and dad.

Her "oh" face! She does this in her sleep and when she's awake! So cute!

So sweet

Doctor's Visit

We took our little Brigitta to the walk-in clinic this morning for a very goopy and swollen right eye. Turns out that her tear duct is just clogged and no infection, but we got some eye drops for her to help clean everything out. So, we gave her some infant tylenol to help with the swelling and the drops and she seems to be doing better.

She got weighed at the doctor's office and she now weighs 7 lbs. 15 oz., so she is gaining back some weight she lost after birth. That does not come as a surprise to us as she is eating sometimes every hour!!

First Bath

Brigitta having her first bath at home, looks like she REALLY enjoyed the whole process.

Isn't she cute?!?!?

Our little Brigitta, isn't she adorable?!?!?!

Visitors

Sarena and Anika stopped by today to visit our little Brigitta. It was great for her to meet one of her Castle Aunties and Anika, as always, was so much fun!

Nap Time

Brigitta and Daddy enjoying their favorite activity together...napping! Having Scott home this week has been a tremondous help and he gets some more quality bonding time with his daughter.

Lena checking everything out from the hospital, she is still unsure of this "creature" we brought home with us. She is staying away for the most part right now.

Going Home!

Here are some shots out the hospital windows to show the morning of B's arrival, very foggy and overcast. As the day continued, the sun came out and the bottom shot is of the USS Abraham Lincoln stationed in Everett.

Brigitta with mommy, grandma and grandpa. Don't mind my face, I pushed pretty hard and looked like I had been in a heavyweight boxing fight with broken capillaries under my eyes and all swollen!
