One Week Old!

Amazing that a whole week has gone by! Mom, dad and Elena are all coping well and settling into a routine. (Just in time for dad to go back to work next week.)

Elena's first week was a busy one...
Saturday saw her first sponge bath at home. Boy did she hate it. Well, everything except for pouring the warm water on her head to rinse out her hair. She really liked that part. But the whole being cold and wet thing was not so fun.

She was a little spoiled on Sunday and Monday when she was able to take her afternoon nap cuddled up on a grandmother's shoulder both days. Mom's parents came to visit Sunday and Dad's parents came to visit on Monday. She is one lucky little girl.

On Monday, mom was going a little stir crazy so we took Elena out on her first shopping trip. Without even blinking an eye we ended up spending the rest of our Babies R Us gift card (I insisted on buying her some smaller clothes... she was DROWNING in most of her hand me downs). She loves being in the car and her stroller. She slept through the entire trip.
