Daddy compared Berkeley's picture to Pierce's first day picture.

 

She held on to Daddy's finger.

 Mommy said hi to Berkeley.

 She sat under the warmer to regulate her body temperature.

 Grandpa and Mimi came for a visit.

 Mimi was very excited to hold Berkeley.

 It was time for a bath.

 She wasn't too happy about her first bath.

 "Oh no, what are you doing to me?"

A rinse under the sink...

 It's a clean baby girl.

Tabitha and Dan

Tabitha was very excited to hold Berkeley.

Memaw also had a turn.

Kami and Pat

Uncle Pat said a big hello.

Eliska was excited to see her girl cousin.

She brought Berkeley a bear and some cute socks.

Vincent and Eliska said hi to the baby.

It was so cute to hear Vincent say the word baby.

Eliska held Berkeley for the first time.

She gave her a big kiss.

Daddy and his little girl...

"Hey, I found a finger."

All bundled up...

It's a sweet, sleeping baby.

It looks like someone is hungry.

"Mom, what is this thing on my head?"

This was her first time to wear a bow.  It only took about 24 hours.

Sweet face

Mimi picked Pierce up from school, and they came for a visit.

 He was excited about his candy necklace.

 He listened to the tv on the remote. 

 Pierce said hi to his little sister.

 He was very gentle.

 Daddy, Mommy, and Berkeley

 The three of us...

 Pierce gave his sister a big kiss.

 One big happy family!!!

Mommy and her sweet girl

 I love her!

 She is getting lots and lots and lots of kisses.

 Another visit from Meredith

 Look at that sweet face

My baby girl will be used to hats and bows soon!

I love this picture of her sleeping.

 Mimi and Pierce came for another visit.

 Nap time

 Berkeley had her pictures taken at the hospital.

 She really wanted to eat instead of having her picture taken.

 Bye bye hospital

Thank you Rachel for the precious take home outfit.  This was the reveal at our reveal dinner.

She was NOT happy about going into the car seat for the first time.

 She felt much better with a pacifier.

 We picked Pierce up from school on our way home from the hospital.  He was very excited to see the baby in the car.

The Pinas came over with dinner on our first night at home. Aunt Mary held Berkeley.

 Pierce, Eliska, and Vincent ate dinner.

Berkeley took a nap while we all ate dinner.
