Julia's Week of "Firsts"

April 13-20, 2008

 

Here are some pictures of Julia and her new experiences during her first week of life...

 

First trip in the car, on the way home from the hospital Tuesday.

 

Jon introduces Biscuit to Julia. He is very good with her; he likes to sniff her head, but he pretty much ignores her most of the time.

Julia's first time in her swing, I think she's pretty content!

 

 

Biscuit and Jon check on Julia napping in her swing.

 

 

Julia met Grandpa Mark, "Papa," for the first time on Wednesday. She slept in his arms here for the entire time he was here.

 

 

 

Biscuit poses with Papa and Julia. He is loving all of the visitors this week!

 

Julia's first sponge bath...

 

She hated being cold and wet!

More bath time...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the first pictures of Julia awake with her eyes open, right after her bath. She was so happy once we got her dressed!

 

First tummy time

 

 

First picture with Grandpa Rich, with Biscuit, of course!

 

Julia's first time in her stroller. We went for our first walk downtown on Thursday, it was beautiful outside. Julia did very well!

She makes the best faces, I happened to capture a good one here.

She looks so tiny in her stroller!

 

 

Our walk downtown...

 

 

 

 

 

Julia had her first doctor's appointment on Friday. Here she is with her favorite nurse, Madonna. Everyone in the office was so excited to meet her!

Dr. Harsha gave Julia a clean bill of health, she looks perfect!

 

Dad helping Madonna measure Julia's length, she measured 19 and 1/2 inches. She either grew an inch in 5 days, or she measured a little short at birth.

 

Julia weighed in at 6 pounds 4 ounces on Friday, only one ounce from her birth weight. Quite impressive considering she was discharged on Tuesday at 5 pounds 13 ounces.

Julia met Aunt Miss for the first time on Friday. Miss didn't put her down the entire time she was here!
