I love to watch her sleep and have a hard time putting her down! I know she won't be this small forever so I am trying to cherish every second I can. She is so precious and it brings back so many wonderful memories of when Kyle and Bella were this age. How time has flown by......I look at Kyle and Bella now sometimes and my heart aches. I am glad they are growing and healthy but I also wonder if I really cherished their early months as much as I could have. 
Cali likes to ride in her new seat. And who wouldn't- all dressed in it's pinkness!
Kyle and Bella are doing fantastic with their new baby sister. They love to take turns holding her, singing to her, and patting her back to help me burp her. They are so absorbed with her! They want to bring diapers and wipes and help change her.
Bella even shares her Bear and Kitty with Cali for her daytime naps. Now if you knew how protective Bella is of Bear and Kitty you would realize what a huge thing this is. The first time I saw her do this I cried...........I knew it meant she accepted and loved her new baby sister.
And Daddy is happy because he has a new sleeping buddy to cuddle with............
Bella is fascinated with Cali's hair (fuzz!) and loves to rub her head- which Cali seems to really enjoy as well!
We have had some moments here and there but overall I think we are all adjusting very well to our newest family member. She has only been here for a week but it feels as though she has been a part of us all along. She is another piece of our family puzzle that is making us whole.Happy Birthday Cali! You are one week old today!
Hope everyone is doing well.

Oh, she's beautiful! I love that first picture of her little fist...so artistic! Get lots of rest, and cherish all your babies for the rest of their lives.
What a beautiful family.
Wonderful pictures. I really love the one of her hand. It would be great to get a picture of all three kids in bare feet.
You have the most darling children, seriously.....they are all so beautiful. I am so sorry I haven't gotten around to mailing Cali's gift. It is sitting here and I need to package it up and get it off to you. She might need it....LOL!!! I am so happy that everything is going so well and you sound so at peace and happy too.

Beautiful post! She is just darling. Dontcha just love the pics of them laying on their tummies on top of daddy!?
How sweet of Bella to give Cali her most prized stuffed animals. TOO CUTE.
Oh how I miss that baby smell. I'm still kicking myself for washing the little shirt the hospital had first put Nova in.
Glad she is sleeping well and you are getting some rest!!

Cali is so beautiful. It's so wonderful to hear how the kids have accepted and love their baby sister. I've found that watching my kids interact with each other is one of my life's greatest blessings.
Just checking back in with you and stealing another glimpse of that sweet baby! Cali has the prettiest complexion! All of you kids are just precious! ...but then you knew that didn't you! :)
Hugs, Rhonda
Give Cali big kisses, and tell her we are glad, so glad she is sleeping so good. That is a wonderful gift! For mommy!
