Vivian is a week old! We are having the best time. Thank goodness for Ama! She did the drop off and pick up today no problemo, and she even popped out to Whole Foods. 

Did a photo shoot with Viv:

Love the portrait mode on the iPhone. Here is tummy time. 

Escape artist. Before. 



After. 

So far the SNOO is living up to the hype. Here’s her sleep log for the day- I didn’t put her in for a morning nap. But Vivian likes it in the SNOO- she can fall asleep in it during the day pretty well. At night she definitely has a witching hour period between maybe 11-2, but otherwise, she is happy as a clam (knock on wood).

I’ve been able to get a few naps in thanks to all the help. So feeling pretty good. Have been using the down time to watch cooking shows. Check out the apple strudel that Mark and I made. 

Mark loved it so much. I asked which part was his favorite- he said the top, the dough, the middle, and the bottom. He said please ask Ms. Hoa for more recipes haha, because he knows she sent us that apple cobbler recipe a few weeks ago. 

Tom took a photo of Viv during her diaper change. 

Trying baby wearing with Vivian. She’s not very into it. She woke up right after this picture screaming. 


She prefers to be held on the couch. 


Much love,

Betty

Labor Day fun! I’m still housebound for a while, but Tom and Mark took AMA for a school drive test run, and then they rode the green line. Serious business.

They stopped at dunkin. Then played at the playground. 

Meanwhile at HQ. Spa day! Hair and nails today. 

Goofing around with a Boppy. 

Mark loves Vivian. He asks to hold her. 

Still a big adjustment for him though. Poor guy!

Outfit change!

Ender trying to lay claim to the stroller. 

Fake sleeping selfie! Tom took the photo. 

Love,

Hello! Vivian got to meet AMA! Ama made it from Taiwan with no trouble. She even stayed awake until 9pm tonight (with one nap). Pretty good!!

Mini photo shoot. 




Then big bro Marky drove up with grandma and grandpa!! He was so proud to get a chance to hold her. He washed his hands, and he made sure to ask if grandpa washed his hands. 

Mark says Vivian can’t swim yet because she’s a baby. But when she gets bigger like him and Johnny she can go to the beach. 

Calming Mr P with a paci. Mark says Mr P and Vivian are the exact same size. 

Many thanks to grandma and grandpa for all of their help!!

Look! Twinsies with baby Maya! Thank you, Mr and Mrs. Fornal!!

Love, 

Betty
