First Week

Well, we made it past the first week.  So far Paige is still a little angel.  I don't know if it's because we've done this before so we have a little bit better of an idea of what to do this time around, or if she is just an easier baby, but she seems so much easier than we remember Lucas being.  She just sleeps all day and night.  She has gone 4 nights in a row now where she slept 5 hours straight.  She hardly ever cries, and even when she does she doesn't cry for long, just a little whine to let you know she's still there.  I'm sure over the next few weeks she'll spend more time awake and figure out how to annoy her parents, but for now we just think she's great.

We've had a lot of help from the ward and from family this week and we're really grateful for that.  Ryan has also been home this whole week and it has been nice to just relax and spend time together with our newest little family member.
Lucas likes to hold her and watch cartoons.
And he likes to share his toys with her.  We'll see how long that lasts.
Here's a couple comparison pictures between Lucas and Paige as babies. I think they look pretty similar, although you can tell Lucas was a little bigger when he was born.
What do you think?

Oh my goodness, they look so similar! Especially in the side by side pictures. I love that grey and pink outfit she's wearing.
