Isabel...2 weeks and 1 day old!

I can't believe it...Izy has only been here 2 weeks, yet it seems like forever! She has been an amazing baby eating 4 ounces every 4 hours. I definitely can not complain! It was so nice to have all of my siblings here for Isabel's debut on this earth! They left last Wednesday, but all that they did meant the world to me...I love you guys! I thought I might have forgotten how to give a sponge bath since it has been awhile, but no worries. It was not to bad! She was not a huge fan of the bath, but loved having her hair washed under the faucet.
Aunt Cara also came home to visit...and ended up staying 2 weeks! It was such a blessing and a joy to have her here! She kept Jacklynn entertained when I needed a break and helped out in any and every way possible...thanks Aunt Ca!
Nic went back to work last Wednesday, but loves to come home to his baby girls!
Some of our friends had a little girl, Abigail (not sure on the spelling...sorry!), 6 days after Isabel was born. Visiting the Martin's in the hospital was our first major outing! Here is Izy with Abby. Just a side note, they also have a little girl that is 6 weeks older than Jacklynn...lots of pink around here!
We went to the zoo last Wednesday (with Aunt Cara, Ashley, and Julia) and could not pass up the opportunity to get a few shots of the girls together! Now if you have been around Jacklynn at all lately you recognize this face in the first picture...it is a staple! She uses the "o" face with a high pitched inhale when she is excited or testing her limits. It is very hard not to laugh everytime she does it! She is definitely a cheeseball!

The girls...
On Thursday night, we ventured out to the Indians game. The goal was to hear Nic's uncle Steve sing the national anthem, but we were a few minutes late...oops! The night was beautiful and I think both girls enjoyed it! This is OWO (Nic's dad) showing Jacklynn the field.
OWO, Jac, and Gam...
And of course, had to get a family pic...
It has been an eventful few weeks of adjusting and figuring out life with 2 girls, but we are enjoying every minute of it...I think! :) An update on our house, there is NO update! Which is extremely frustrating! We are just waiting on the HUD people to sign the papers and then we are in...but who knows! Keep us in your prayers! We love you all!
