Aspen Turns 2 (weeks)

Tomorrow will mark Aspen's second week in our life. It's been such a joy watching her change a little bit everyday. She seems to be already setting a schedule for herself-- long morning nap, long late afternoon nap, and waking up twice in the middle of the night for feedings. We both feel so blessed to have Aspen in our life and have so much love to give her. This is what Aspen has been up to the past week...

Her first formal night out on the town in her fancy tutu dress.


We went over to Poppy's house for some snacks and visiting. Our first official activity out as a family was to Mandola's Italian Market. We made sure Aspen ate before we went and she slept the whole time we ate our pizza.

Aspen and I have been having lots of snuggling time together.



Mary Aspen Dzubinski received her first piece of mail!


It's exciting to know that she is a legal alien from the planet "Cutetonia".

Bella has been enjoying the benefits of Aspen also.


She loves sleeping in the boppy pillow (a nursing pillow for those of you that don't know the in's and out's of every mother/mother-to-be item) and sleeping on the blanket the hospital gave us for Aspen. I think we can say this blanket can just be Bella's from now on...

I love this picture of Jason and Aspen. Look at the expression on Jason's face; now that's one proud Dad.


It also looks like Aspen is laughing at something her Daddy said. Hopefully she'll always think her dad is hilarious with all his crazy, silly jokes.

Aspen and her dog-sister Bella lounging in her room.


** Don't worry...we didn't leave them alone.

This past week Aspen has been having longer time periods were she is just happy and content.


This has lead to some silly family time with the camera. Jason insisted on swaddling both of us; I don't think Bella would let him or he would have thrown her into the mix too.

If you remember back when I was 36 weeks pregnant and we had another ultrasound we posted a picture of our little girl.

Here she is again sticking out her tongue... our silly little monkey!

Did you notice in that top picture at Poppy's house that her feet are in second position?
