Father-Daughter Bond

(Guest post from Kristin): Scarlett is two weeks old today and aside from being adorable she’s doing very well. Graham and I are also doing well and getting a decent amount of sleep. Well, enough to function during the day. Scarlett’s getting her fair share of sleep both night and day. We haven’t done a good job taking advantage of this down time to catch up on our rest. I just don’t have it in me to slow down. Graham on the other hand simply can’t put Scarlett down. While Scarlett naps, Graham reads, checks email, listens to music, all while holding Scarlett in his arms. He’s so in love with her and it’s amazing to watch him as he bonds with her.

A week of firsts for Scarlett

Her first book reading

Her first time in the car seat

Helping out around the home

Scarlett has already proven to be a big help in her first week at home.

She's been helping mom and dad with the laundry

And helping dad put together baby stuff

Helping dad with his French lessons

And helping him with his fantasy baseball picks
