Week: 5/1-5/7

5/1 - Nothing too special happened this day. I have about 15 random pictures of the girls throughout the house but most of this day the girls spent eating and sleeping... and of course they got in some good cuddle time!

5/2 - Off to the Doctor's we go! McKenna and Malia had their first Doctors appointment. This was the first time we took the girls out of the house since we had been home from the hospital. I strongly considered taking Lysol Disinfectant Spray with us as well as Clorox Wipes and Germ-X but my wise husband convinced me that they would survive their short encounter with the outside world. Both girls were doing great: Malia was right at 5 lb (came home from the hospital 4 lb 6 oz) and McKenna was 5 lb 10 oz (came home from the hospital 4 lb 13 oz).
After leaving the doctors office we dropped off the girls vitamin prescription, stopped for a quick lunch and ran by my doctors. Both girls were great on their first outing and we had NO meltdown. We even were able to make it home before it was time to eat again - yes, we did all of that within 2 1/2 hours!

5/3 - While Mardell was at work I spent the morning on the floor with Malia, McKenna, Mya & Ellie. It turns out that all four girls LOVE tummy time! Mya & Ellie love to try to lick the girls and supervise nicely!
Later in the evening Malia and McKenna had visitors stop by. Joe & Michelle came to town to meet the little ladies. Both girls seemed very happy to meet more family while I simply enjoyed having several adults in the house to converse with!

5/4 & 5/5 - Nothing really happened on these days. The girls were looking very adorable though so I have about 25 pictures of them just being cute!

5/6 - Reesa came to visit! After school was out Reesa came by to meet McKenna and Malia and brought some YUMMY homemade mac & cheese. Yay for meeting more of the Westwood family!
After she left we decided to bust out the stroller and take our first family walk. It was great getting fresh air and the dogs loved finally being outside for more than just a few minutes. Malia and McKenna enjoyed it so much that they slept the entire time! :)

5/7 - Aunt Dava and Uncle Dusty came down for the morning. Aunt Dava had not seen the girls since she visited them in the hospital and this was the first time Uncle Dusty got to meet them. Children under 12 were not allowed to visit in the hospital so when they came down he stayed outside with cousins Charlie and Emma.
After Aunt Dava and Uncle Dusty left Laura came by to take some newborn pictures of Malia and McKenna. We were very excited that she was able to fit us in her busy schedule and she took some GREAT photos!

While getting ready to take pictures Malia decided to be SUPER BABY and rolled onto her tummy and then BACK onto her back. Was this a complete accident? Probably. But still cool? Yes! McKenna decided to stay awake throughout the entire photoshoot (even though she had just eaten and was suppose to be sleeping) and made very adorable faces for Laura to capture.
