Four Weeks Old!!

We can hardly believe that Mary Pat is four weeks old already. She had her one month check up this morning and is already weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs! I guess her Auntie Leenie's nickname of "Chubbette" is pretty accurate.

It has been a busy week for the Kolenik family. Mary Pat received her first real bath this week now that her belly button is officially healed. To mommy and daddy's surprise she seemed to enjoy her bathtub and didn't cry at all. She has also been helping daddy cheer on the NY Mets as the regular baseball season wraps up. Daddy is hoping that the Mets make it into the post season so that Mary Pat can continue to wear all of her apparel!

Here are some pictures from the past week. Enjoy!

Mirror Time!

Today Mommy and Mary Pat embarked on their first adventure together without any help. Mommy is pleased to say that Mary Pat slept the entire time we were at Babies R Us and seems to really enjoy the car and her car seat. When we got home Mommy laid Mary Pat in her crib for a minute while she got some things done in the nursery and realized after a while that it was VERY quiet. Apparently Mary Pat had discovered herself in the mirror and was completely enthralled looking and making faces! Here are some pictures of her entertainment.

Big Cousin/Baby Cousin Weekend

After waiting so long she could hardly stand it (and then some) Big Cousin Victoria finally got a chance to come to NY to meet Baby Cousin Mary Pat. We were all thrilled to see that they hit it off swimmingly. Please follow the link for pictures of the cousins first of many times playing together!

She's Three!!!! (weeks old)

Plenty of action in Mary Pat's life so far as you'll see by the pictures linked below. Mary Pat got to meet her big cousin Samantha and her Aunt Linda (Linda if you read this you left your sunglasses at our house) and spent some quality time with her Nana and parents. If you are disturbed by seeing someone passed out with drool running out of the side of their mouths these pictures might not be for you. And those are just the ones of Nana, Mommy and Daddy as they tried to catch up on sleep! We've heard the week after the youngest is dropped off at college is the ideal time to catch up.

Please follow the link for the pics and enjoy!

We're Home!!

The newly expanded Kolenik Family is home safe and sound. As much as Little Mary Pat loved spending the night sleeping in a bright room with her 30 closest friends nearby she seems to like her new home a bit better. As you can see from the picture below, we gave the neighborhood a subtle hint that she had been born.....
