Kyveli is 2 weeks old!

Everyone told me that time would fly once she arrived, and WOW, they were sure right! I can't believe it's been 2 weeks already. Kyva looks like a completely different baby to us now. Her features are much more defined, and she's packing on some pudge thanks to all the round-the-clock eating she does. We'll find out exactly how much weight she has gained at first her appointment with the pediatrician on Tuesday. She's tracking things with her eyes now, and staying awake for slightly longer periods of time. She's really alert when she's awake. She's also gotten just a teensy bit fussy, but only when she's overtired and she's pretty easy to calm thanks to Dr. Harvey Karp and his 5 S's.

We're feeling sort of lost in a sweet haze of newbornness, where time stops yet flies by at the same time. Kailen went back to work after the first week. He's eligible to take up to 7 weeks off, but he decided to take Fridays off until mid-October instead of taking his leave as a chunk of time. My mom has been here since last Saturday helping out a TON. I seriously don't know what I would have done without her, and I'm a little afraid of what will happen when she leaves. Last Sunday she even made us breakfast in bed! We've had a steady stream of visitors including grandma Marge, aunties Sage, Madylan and Heather and cousins Shasta and Jevria, in addition to lots of friends and other admirers. Everyone seems to agree that we "made a good one."

Here are some pictures from Kyva's first two weeks!
