Four Weeks of Firsts

I wish I was one of those people who could cocoon up in their house and rest after having a baby. But try as I might, I'm just not. I'm happiest when I'm out and about and as a result, so are my children. So, Miss Chloe has had a busy first four weeks of life. So busy in fact that I haven't been great about taking many pictures, but here are a few of the "firsts" I managed to capture:

First trip to San Diego

. . . visiting her Great-Grandparents, meeting some of the extended Rose & Calder relatives, sleeping through most of the labor day party.

First trip to the Zoo

. . . where she slept in the stroller the entire time while her brothers marveled (again) at the dung beetles.

First photo with her new cousin, Elsie Snow Bollard!

. . . these two little girls are just 15 days apart and we know they will be good friends amidst all of the boys. Congratulations Ben & Heidi, we are so glad we got to meet her, she is beautiful!

First wearing of a hair clip

. . . hooray for accessories! I am having so much fun.

NOT the first of the many, many smiles, hugs, kisses, (and pokes, startles, squeezes) she receives from Luke daily

First child of mine to ever tolerate a pacifier and act content in a bouncy seat for more than two minutes

. . . I adore this little girl.
