The first six weeks have been quite an adventure. Kara's getting stronger and more aware every day. She's already starting to grow out of her new born outfits! She's cooing at us, but we haven't gotten a smile out of her quite yet. Lee Ann and Tyler have been very fortunate to have gotten so much help so far, and we are very thankful.
Kara's first Christmas day was fairly anticlimactic, since we'd already done Christmas with both sets of grandparents and Santa didn't get very much for Kara this year. On Christmas morning, we went to a neighbor's house for a Christmas brunch. Other than that, it was just like any other day with a five-week old.
Patrick and Akila stopped by to meet Kara a couple of days before Christmas. They also brought lunch and lasagna for Kara's bone-tired parents. Much appreciated! She was the much passed around focus of the visit, and we hope to see our friends again soon!
Uncle Trey and Grandma came up to visit Kara just before Christmas. They took turns with the night shift while they were here, which was a great Christmas present for Kara's tired parents. As you can see in the pictures, Kara cleaned up this Christmas. Must be good to be the only grandchild on both sides.
On December 8th, Grammy and Gramps came to visit and meet Kara. They were very excited to meet the little girl, and she quickly had them tied around her little finger. She is going to be one spoiled little baby. Grammy and Gramps helped out a lot with Kara, taking the 2:00 am feeding.
