Week 1 of Life with Brooke

Brooke at 1 Week Old.

It's been a busy and fun week. Coming home from the hospital last Sunday, we enjoyed a homecoming with both grandparents. Jennifer's parents arrived from Cinci and Scott's parents from Chicago. We celebrated and toasted our new family addition.



The grandmother's were quite amused by all the books Jennifer has been reading and the new "theories" on baby care.
Otherwise, between lessons in calculus and biochemistry (Brooke is very advanced) and dodging tornadoes (one went right by our neighborhood Saturday night), the week was filled with learning (for the new Mom and Dad) about when Brooke wanted to eat and sleep (and therefore when they could eat and sleep).

On her 1 week birthday we ventured out to begin the daily walks routine. The first trip was a new experience for Maddie, figuring out what this stroller thing was. After one "brush of the wheels," she learned to not stop directly in the path of the moving stroller.
Another first was her a "manicure,"

...and her first sponge bath. Not a happy time...

In the end, it's been a very fun week, we're having a great time and appreciate all the well wishes from everyone!
