Our lives were changed forever 7 days ago when baby Cassidy was born. I can't believe she is already a week old. It's been a very fast week. We are so in love with this sweet little girl and so glad she is part of our family. She truly is a blessing. We couldn't have asked for a better baby. Her temperament is the complete opposite of the rest of our kids as babies. She is incredibly mellow and laid back, hardly ever crying more than a little squawk. She loves to be held and will sleep in your arms all day. Cassidy weighed in at 5 pounds 15 ounces yesterday at the doctors office. She has some problems sucking and won't nurse because of it. We are having to teach her how to suck correctly. This has been a frustrating and time consuming process. As my brother says, it's the one time in your kids life you WANT them to suck! Our doctor was great and gave me some different techniques to try with her that will hopefully get her nursing and gaining more weight. My mom has been here all week and has been wonderful shuttling the kids back and forth to school, sports and activities, cooking and cleaning and letting me just rest and cuddle this little peanut. Cami wants grandma to stay forever! Here are some new pictures of our sweet girl.

She is so precious! I wish I was there this weekend to see her! Boo- hoo for having to be a responsible adult! Mom needs to come home, I miss having her here! I love how you two comment on each others blogs, but you are in the same house! She is just adorable and I can't wait to meet her someday!!! :(
I second Al's request for mom to come home! She can bring Cami with her though!! She is so cute, can't wait to see her!!
Wow. Goes by so fast. So do we think she looks like Carter?
