A visit from Ethan

On Sunday our good friends Chiko and Shawn brought Ethan over to visit Durkin - our first play date! Ethan was born just 5 short days after Durkin.

Chiko and I had a great time being pregnant together, sharing stories and wondering what it was all going to be like. It was fun to go through that together and now it's fun to be parents together too.

Thanks for coming to visit. I know Ethan and Durkin will be great friends.

Baby Bear

For my Auntie Liz's birthday we wore our baby bear outfit, which Liz gave to us. So cute!

Happy Birthday, Lizzie!

Latest doc visit

Today we had another weight check at our pediatrician's office. I should point out it was my first outing with just me and the baby, so that was a milestone in itself. :)

Durkin now weighs 7 lbs, 14 oz! So, we're finally at the point where we can feed him on demand, whenever he wants it. He's also been sleeping for longer stretches at night. Not every night, but once this week we did a full 5 hours. Amazing. I hardly believed we could get here and I'm so happy we did.

We took a trip to Seattle on Tuesday, to help Aunt Katie shop for her wedding dress. I have to say that Katie is going to be one radiant bride! But that's all I can say 'bout that for now.

Here are a couple of photos from our Seattle trip, all with a sleeping Durkin.







A much needed nap after our busy day of... napping:

Daddy's MVP

Today is daddy's first day back at work, so we decided to wear our Daddy's MVP shirt in honor of our daddy. Thank you, Aunt Katie for the shirt!

Walkies

Today we took our first walk around our neighborhood as a family of 3. It was a lovely day for a walk. :)

Here we are before the walk. At first we didn't want to get into our car seat, thankyouverymuch, but once daddy swung us around for a bit we settled in nicely.




Daddy and me:


Here we are after our walk. So content!

Happy Saturday!

Today we woke up refreshed and checked outside to see some sunlight through the rain.

I love being 17 days old

New photos from today. I am awake a lot more during the daytime now. I like to stare out the window and at my mom and dad.
