Cash's first bath, and Mabs first lollipop!!!

We had several firsts this week: a first bath, a first lollipop, and a first few days by ourselves...eek! We had family helping us out for the first week after Cash was born, and everyone left us Monday...it was a tad scary, but everythings been great so far. Mabelle's still a great helper (not regressing on her potty-training), and still loves Cash sooo much (sometimes too much...hahahaha). Cash has been an easy baby, so laid back (just like his Daddy), and low-maintenance (not like his high-maintenance sister or Mama).

We had taken him home with his weight at 7lbs 11oz (after being born at 8lbs 7oz), took him to the doc last week to test his jaundice levels and he weighed 7lbs 14oz. Today he had his checkup and has gained a FULL pound since last Wednesday! Our little chunky man is up to 8lbs 14oz...woohoo! And he's grown 3/4 of an inch since birth...11 days ago :) He's looking great, tested his jaundice levels again to be on the safe side, and should know the results tomorrow...he also might have thrush in his mouth, but we won't know that until we can see the doc again (hopefully soon).

Other than that, we have been doing great....just enjoying our sweet babies! Enjoy the pics!

Mabelle putting on a show for everyone!

Wearing her shirt as a hat :)
Driving the dogs batty, by kicking them out of their beds, saying that it's HER bed.
MABELLE'S FIRST LOLLIPOP! (she loved it) Cash's first bath...he loved it :)

He only cried for a little bit when we pulled him out. Getting ready for bed with Dad.
Clean & lotioned.
