She practiced smiling and looking adorable.
Met her Aunt Jess and had her first trip to Grandma & Grandpa Price's house...
Took a nap...
Got a present from her Great-Grandma Price- these are shoes that a friend made for Elena's Grandpa Price when he was a baby- so they are 50 years old! Aren't they sweet?!
Modeled her new shoes... they fit pretty well! Hard to believe that Grandpa Price's feet were that little!
Modeling is hard work, so she took another nap...
Wore her "Daddy Does My Hair" onesie...
Helped Daddy study for his Old Testament test...
And, exhausted, took another nap... life is so hard for a baby!
Truthfully, life has been pretty busy around here this week. With Aunt Jess in town, I have a ride everywhere! So Elena has been making the rounds to visit all the people who want to see her (or show her off). We went to D&H and met her future employers (she is a legacy, after all). Then we went to my office, where she woke up, filled her drawers (loudly, and on video), and then declared (forcefully) that she was hungry. So that was actually a short visit! Then she visited Grandma Price's office and met everyone there. She also made her first trip to the mall with Aunt Jess and Aunt Kate. So Elena was quite the social butterfly this week!
As for me, I am doing well... My incision only hurts occasionally, and since Jess has been driving us all over Columbia, I'm not feeling stir crazy at all. I have learned several things about motherhood, though...
1) You can't have enough burp cloths
2) My boobs can tell time better than I can- they know precisely when it's been 2 hours since the last feeding, and will let me know.
3) Bright eyes at 4:30 in the morning are not a good sign
4) There is nothing sweeter smelling than a baby who just had a bath
5) I really could spend all day staring at my sweet baby...
So there's our weekly update... all is well in the newly expanded Looten family! :)
