Sonora turns 2 weeks old today!

Sonora went to her 2 week check up at the Pediatrician's office today. She weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches. So she's definitely growing and eating well! This is her doctor, Dr. Sidhom in Visalia. She was extremely hungry at this moment, so I'm surprised that she had stopped crying while we were taking a picture!
Sonora thinking deeply while sleeping. Wonder what she's planning for us today?

Sonora's final 3 first cousins came over on Wednesday night to see her for the first time...Haley (the only other girl in the family). She was instantly smitten with the cutie.
Randy, who also was excited to hold her...

and Carter, who said when he first met her, "she's tiny!"
We can't wait for all the cousins to grow up together and have such special relationships. Sonora was born into 2 great families!

Weekend Visitors

Steve's Uncle Eddie & Aunt Janie came to visit Sonora on Sunday.
Sonora's first time wearing brown... looks good on her ;-) Didn't last long, though, because she managed to "soil" it pretty quickly!

Sonora's first week at home

Sonora swaddled in her kiddapodamus - what a cute sweet pea. :)

Mommy & Sonora in the brightly painted Pediatrician's office. Sonora's doctor is very gentle with her and comes highly recommended by everyone.

Sonora wears a "girly" dress as she plays in her activity gym.

Mommy poses next to the bassinet that has been in her family for almost 70 years.

Mommy's getting lots of practice at changing and dressing Sonora.
Sonora says goodbye to Daddy on his first day back to work. :(

Grandma & Sonora on Grandma's birthday.
Our other "baby" Suesse wanted to be close to Mommy while Sonora was being rocked to sleep. Suesse seems to be missing her Mommy lap time.
Sonora and her BIG yawns!

Sonora likes her new bunny rabbit.

Big sister Suesse is watching over Sonora...she is always very curious about what she is doing.
Sonora reads her picture book as she sunbathes in her bassinet (recommended due to her slight case of jaundice).
