Introducing.....

Olivia Claire joined our family at 8:10AM on Wednesday June 27, arriving promptly on her due date!

Welcome to the world sweet baby!

A very proud daddy!

She weighed larger than anticipated at a healthy 8lbs2oz

She measured a perfect 20" in length

Scrub, scrub, scrub

Making a big entrance into the world wears a little one out!

First photo of our family of four!

Grandma and Grandpa meet Olivia

Olivia receives a welcome gift from Madeline!

Such an excited and proud big sister

The hospital delivers cakes to congratulate the siblings on the arrival of their baby.  Madeline was super excited!

Not so happy to be heading home.

Mommy, on the other hand, was ecstatic to be leaving the hospital.

All buckled in and ready to roll!

"Welcome home, Olivia!"

Sisters in their matching owl shirts.  "Night owl" for Olivia and "Big Sister Owl" for Madeline

Unfortunately, after we got Olivia home, she struggled with jaundice.  This is how she spent her first couple of days at home

The upside of jaundice was that we needed to supplement her feedings with formula, which meant that Madeline got to give her a bottle.  Check out that big sister smile!!

Grandpa and Grandma with their two grand girls!

She gives the best baby smiles when she's falling asleep!

Getting ready for her first bath

It started out okay....

...but she quickly decided that this wasn't a good idea!

It's hard to believe that it has been nearly 3 weeks since Olivia joined us.  She's been a great baby, eats well, sleeps well and is very mild mannered.  Madeline is a great big sister and loves her baby very much!  We couldn't be happier!
