First week with Baby

Here are a few pictures from this past week. Elliot Kendall arrived on Saturday, Febuary 6th at 5:27 a.m., weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces and 19 and 3/4 inches long. We are all adjusting well, and it already feels like he's been a part of the family for much longer than a week!





The kids come to see Elliot later in the day. Ava was in awe of the baby and kept saying how cute and little he was...Oliver wasn't sure what to think; but he enjoyed drinking Mommy's juice and eating all of her afternoon snack.





The kiddos back on day 2 to hold their baby brother and visit Mom in the hospital. Oliver was excited to celebrate his new brother's life with a sucker (a rare treat!:)









Day five and home from the hospital. Both Ava and Oliver love to "hold" and kiss the baby.



Little Longhorn, or just another Texas cowboy?














Ava's Valentine's Day Party at school. Ava proudly insisted on wearing one of my hospital braclets to school and told everyone about her new baby brother at home.





One week old today! Check out that cute smile!
