Helena, 2 weeks old


striped sisters
Originally uploaded by Dan and Ann
Helena is two weeks old today. She is starting to look more like a baby and less like a newborn. Sadie continues to adore her. The first thing she wants to do in the morning is check on Helena and kiss her, and she loves to hold her sister.

Last week, at 4th Trimester group, Helena weighed 7lbs, 9 ounces, so she gained 9 ounces from her birth weight. Tomorrow is her two week old pediatrician appointment and we'll see how big she is then.

We had a great time this weekend with visits from Jenny, Andy, Lauren and James. Lots of aunts and "uncles" to play with! Yesterday, it poured rain all day, but we still had a good day. Sadie decorated a large box with stickers from Bob Bob and she and Daddy had some buddy time at the Montshire.
