It’s the Dawsons!

Time flies when you’re having fun, working on a lot less sleep and learning how to be a parent!  We’ve had quite the first month with our little girl.  Neither of us can believe it’s been one month since Elliott arrived and brightened our lives.  We survived Kari’s post-partum health issues, 10″ of snow on our first day home from the hospital (look for a Homer blog post about that in the future), Homer’s return to work and that whole first time parent thing…and we love it.

Elliott is a true blessing and everyone who gets to meet her is uplifted by the cute little faces she makes and her all-around adorableness.  She’s starting to coo, reacts to her Mom and Dad, breaks out the occasional smile and is determined to hold her head up without any help from us.  Elle will have many firsts in her life, but managed to include Dad on three big ones.  Who’s the first person she spit up, peed and pooped on?  You guessed it - good old Dad.  Mom has been stuck with boring firsts like her first smile and first giggle…

While we already miss that tiny little cuddle bug who came home with us one month ago, we are in love with the girl who is starting to show bits and pieces of her personality, growing so quickly and sleeping more than 2 1/2 hours at a time!  Here’s to the first month of a wonderful life!
