A Week of Firsts

Isabella has made it through her first week of life, of course, not without experiencing some important "firsts." Here is a rundown of her first week in our world. And thanks Nikki for the blog idea!

Bella's First Ride in the Car
Bella's first time in her car seat was a big one, because this meant she was going home from the hospital


Bella's First Doctor's AppointmentOur first appointment went well with the doctor. Isabella checked out good and hadn't lost any weight since discharge. They still are keeping an eye on her weight and little bit of jaundice though, and we hav had 3 appointments since this one.


Bella's First Bath
Bella didn't really love the bath so much...

But she LOVED cuddling with her daddy at the end.

Bella's First Birthday Cake
Our neighbor Rhonda made Bella her first birthday cake, a yummy homemade strawberry cake with butter cream icing. While Bella didn't get to enjoy it, her mommy and daddy liked it A LOT!


Bella's First PacifierI always said I didn't want to do the pacifier thing, but here is our girl with a pacifier in her mouth. The biggest of them all, no doubt. I suppose there are worse things you can give your child. =)


Bella's First Bottle
Because we are trying so hard to maintain/increase our little girl's weight, she had her first bottle. This has been a big deal for me, but Drew has really enjoyed taking part in feeding his baby girl and helping mommy out with some of the feeding exhaustion.
