Addie's first week

You hear that newborn babies don't do much besides eat, sleep, and poop. Well, Adeline is VERY gifted because she eats, sleeps, poops, passes gas, sucks her fingers, kicks her legs wildly out of her swaddle blanket, and enchants us with her smiles. Well, the smiles may be related to the gas, but we'll take them. She's also quite adept at dirtying her diaper immediately after Steve changes it. Smart girl ;)

Here are a few photos from Addie's first week. Enjoy!

A little ball of sleep.
Sporting the Pooh hat for her first walk around the neighborhood. She was so bundled up during the walk we could barely see her face, just her hat--so it was like we were pushing Pooh Bear in the stroller.

Addie's first sponge bath--hooded towels rock.

Napping on Mommy

Napping on Daddy
Napping (yes, lots of napping!) in the cradle that Steve's dad made--which both Steve and Doug slept in when they were babies.


Is your diaper dirty? Oh yeah...Addie's baking beans for Daddy again

Business in the front, party in the back--Steve loves that Addie is sporting a baby mullet :)

Thanks for looking!

Meet Adeline Eve!!!

After 40 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy, 24 hours of labor, and lots of love, Adeline Eve Silvestro made her way into the world on November 10th, 2007, at 8:58 PM! She weighs a happy 7 lbs. 7 oz., and is 20.5 inches long. Monica did a phenomenal job during labor and is feeling great. We had so much support from Tara, our doula, who was absolutely fantastic; Monica's mom, Eva; and our friend Kye, who happened to be Monica’s nurse for most of her labor. We’re all a little sleepy, but incredibly happy! Addie is healthy and cute, and is already breastfeeding like a champ! Below are some pictures from the last few days, and there will surely be more to come!
