We're very happy to report Leighton is doing wonderfully at home. She's a great sleeper and eater. She has to be woken up to eat during the night for most feedings after 4 hour sleeping stints (after Ellis, I think we deserve this!). Ellis has done great with her and hasn't seemed to bothered by the fact there's a new face in the house. Her nickname for Leighton is "cutie" or "baby cutie". She's been very helpful and interested in all things involving the baby. Here are a few new pics of our first days at home.
Ellis meets Leighton for the first time and gives her LOTS and LOTS of love (ie a wee bit over zealous with the kisses, tickling and such). As the NICU didn't allow children under 14, Ellis had to wait 10 days to meet her new sister for the first time.
Where there's Ellis, there's Elmo, of course. Elmo gets his place next to Leighton in Elli's baby bouncy seat.

Finally at home and enjoying her new Boppy bouncy seat.

Leighton's first bath--and she's not loving it as you can see! She had not screamed that loud since she was born.
