We’ve had sooo much excitement this first week with Kaya (I’m learning though, that as a new parent, “excitement” can be defined as anything from your baby’s first bath to her first poopy diaper… I never thought I’d be so happy about something like that!)

She’s already ridden in the car twice!  She really doesn’t like getting in the carseat, but she’s getting better about it.

We’re backseat-riding buddies. I wonder how long it’ll be before I feel comfortable enough to sit in the front!

She’s also had her first several bouts of gas. Luckily, one of our nurses showed us how to move her legs to help her try and pass it. We’ve had a couple of nearly-sleepless nights trying to help her with her gas, but it seems like her little body has really started working and she can get through it mostly on her own now. Thank goodness!

Kaya met her grandparents.

And Uncles Jeff and Karl!

She also had her first (sponge) bath at home. She actually handled the water pretty well! I love this picture of us together right afterward.

She even went on her first walk!

She’s also finding out how silly her daddy is! She absolutely LOVES it when he plays piano for her, but that’s no surprise to me, because she was already wiggling for it when she was still in my belly!

We’re so excited for all the fun we’ll have in the future with our princess!
