My Grandpa Bates came to visit me all the way from Kennewick, WA.

I've been holding my head up since my birthday and I'm getting better and better at it each day...I'm almost a pro!

I've got my Daddy whooped!!

Here's my mommy with my godmother, Auntie Tarsila. She came all the way from Port Orchard, WA to spend the week with me!

After a good nite's sleep...my mommy thinks I grow overnite!

Hanging out with my big brother Danyl.

In Kristopher's own words..."She's the girl of my dreams".

"I've been had! You're not my mommy!"

I've had an exhausting day...Happy Birthday to Me!!

Our family friend Pam was my first visitor...she missed my arrival by 7 minutes!

Ikaika and Phoenix come over to make sure I'm okay, they are very protective of me!

Ikaika welcomes me to the world...he loves to kiss me.

Papa and my big brother Danyl dress and bundle me nice and snug!

My dog Phoenix...she just loves me and sniffs me very gently.

I've been weighed and measured and have had my first diaper change...which I've let my parents know I do not like! I cry every time they change me now!

Here I am getting weighed by my doula, Jeni and my Daddy...I'm much bigger than my brothers were at 7lbs 14oz!

My Daddy holds me for the first time...he thinks I'm the best birthday present EVER!!

Meeting Mommy and Daddy for the first time...they are SO proud of me!

This was taken just moments after I was born...see how peaceful I am?
