Who is that beautiful baby in the box?

I hope Allison doesn't become one of those girls that spends hours in front of the mirror!

Super Human Baby Strength!

We have a very strong baby. That's not us just being proud parents and making stuff up about what she can do. The doctor even said she's very strong!

Here's a quick video of her picking her head up and turning it to the other side during tummy time this morning. She's been doing this consistently since she was 6 days old. This is something you could expect a baby that is about 1-1.5 months old to do. She's already ahead of the curve!

Now, when should we start the reading lessons?

1 week update

Tiffany:

Everyone is asking us how things are going and for more details, so here ya go:

Labor and delivery were terrifying and horrific, but, in the end I got a perfect, healthy baby so it was worth it. I hated when people told me scary labor and delivery stories, so I think I'll keep this one to myself. What happens at St. Mary Mercy Hospital stays at St. Mary Mercy Hospital!

Allison is very mellow and easy to please. She's taking to breastfeeding like a champ and sleeps beautifully through most of the day. We get up with her about 3 times every night, but she eats, gets her diaper changed, and goes right back to sleep with minimal screaming (mostly just when she's naked and cold!). None of us feel too sleep deprived (yet??). I find that I can't stop staring at her. She's just so perfect and amazing to me.

My body is healing slowly, but surely and I feel about 75% right now. Kevin took the week off of work and just went back today. He was so helpful and got all the laundry done, went grocery shopping, cleaned the house, and cooked me some great, healthy dinners. Since I am solely in charge of feeding responsibilities, he has also taken on most of the diaper changing responsibilities. He is a great father already and it makes me love him in a whole different way to watch him with his daughter. I think I chose my life partner well.

More pictures to come soon! We've been a little crazy with the camera and just assume that everyone else in the world is as amazed by our daughter as we are!

Happy Birthday, sweet little baby

Kevin:

Allison Emilia Baron Trovini was born this morning at 2:58 am. She weighs 8 pounds, 11 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. She has a fair head of hair--brown in the back, and increasingly blonde toward her forehead. She has a strong grip, a cute squishy face, and a large big toe like her daddy.

Welcome to the world, little one.

pumpkin baby

Which looks bigger - the belly or the pumpkin?
