Snuzzling with the grandparents

Grandma and Grandpa T came for a visit on Saturday. They just can't get enough of their first granddaughter/grandchild. Kyah even smiled for them while they were here and Grandpa got it on camera. What a shining moment.



It was nice having them here for many reasons - one of them being I got a break from diaper patrol. Grandma did a number of things around the house that I haven't had time to get to like sweep and mop the floors. And Grandpa helped me assemble my trailer for the Subaru, which took most of the day.

Grandma snuzzling with Kyah.


Abby and Grandma couldn't resist putting this hat on Kyah and taking her outside to enjoy the sunshine.


Worn out from a day full of snuzzling.


Many people have asked how Abby and I are doing. Seeing as how this is our first baby and we don't have another reference point, I think things are going quite well. It was a little rough at first because of the csection; Abby was extremely limited in what she could do. I was running around providing for both of my ladies... I didn't mind it during the day, but I will say it was pretty difficult at night. Now that Abby is moving around more and can help with a few more things, it seems to be getting easier. It also helps that Kyah has been eating and sleeping like a champ. Nine times out of 10, she goes right to sleep for a three-hour nap following feedings. That makes sleeping at night pretty easy. If I had to guess, I'd say we're amassing anywhere from six to eight hours of sleep a night. Mind you, that's amassing and not consecutive. I think we've been in bed for 11 hours the last couple nights. : ) All in all, we're truly enjoying being parents. God has blessed us immensely.

Oh my gosh you guys... she's so adorable. Hang in there with everything... from what I understand, the amount of sleep you're "amassing" is darn lucky compared to some people I know! So it sounds like Kyah is a total champ! I hope Abby feels better soon. xoxo Ps. Your Mom looks great... please send her my love!!
