The past week has gone by quickly, but has been good. Bob went back to work last Thursday and my mom (Nana) came up to help out Thursday and Friday, which was great. The kids are doing well, and I think us parents are doing all right also. Just as an update (for those interested), Levi had a doctor's appointment this morning and he weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz., so he is gaining well! Here are a couple pictures from the last week:

Our Toyota Camry is filling up fast-we are glad Addie is not able to actually reach and touch baby Levi from her carseat. They have to sit right next to each other in the car because that is the only way to make them fit in the back seat, but at this point, Addie's arm is not long enough to get to him. We think this is good-she does not.
Uncle Nate and Kat came to visit for a little while this weekend. Addie had a good time seeing and playing with them. Levi really enjoyed how much Kat held him!

My friend from college, Jen, came to visit for a little while Friday evening:

Addie still loves kissing her little brother:

I took this video a couple weeks ago-before we had Levi, but never got around to posting it. I do realize the birds in this video are geese, not ducks. However, Addie does not know what geese are, so to her, they are ducks. Here is our fearless goose-feeder:

As mentioned a few weeks ago, Addie got her first teeth (she's got 2 at this point). While we were in the hospital, Nana got Addie a toothbrush and toothpaste and taught Addie to brush her teeth. She is a huge fan! Here she is enjoying her tooth-brushing time (or should I call it tongue-brushing?):

We are home from the hospital and are doing well. I have had numerous people (mostly family) ask to see more pictures of Levi, so I am posting a lot on here. For those of you that are not interested in seeing tons of pictures, just ignore this post. But, for those of you that are interested, enjoy lots of pictures of our little guy-and his proud big sister.

In the operating room-only minutes old (6 lbs. 14 oz):

Daddy got to hold him right away:

Up close:

He has lots of light brown hair:

Addie came to visit in the hospital every day. As you will see from the pictures, she loves her baby brother very much. Here are Nana and Dottie with Addie and Levi:

Daddy is reminding Addie to be sweet and gentle with Levi-something we have to remind her of often:

Levi doesn't have his eyes open very often, but Daddy got this really good one of him the other day:

Check out that hair:

Ready to come home:

He was asleep before we even got in the car:

Our family of four finally together (it's hard to see here, but Nana and Addie welcomed us home with a poster):

Kisses from Addie:

And more kisses:

If you look close, Addie is pointing out her "big sister" pin she got from the hospital:

And there it is, up close:

Crossing his hands:

Addie loves to touch Levi-his nose, eyes, ears, hair, etc.:
