New Family!

Well, before I give everyone a new update about Jordyn I need to write a blog thank-you note. We want to thank the Royces & Lyons for the really cute outfits you sent Jordyn. We love them and so we took a picture to show you how much Jordyn loved them too.


Now, for the update. Jordyn was two weeks on Friday and we had our first outing. We went to visit Daddy at work so he could show her off to everyone and she slept like a rock the entire time! We also made another visit to the doctors because Jordyn's belly button was looking infected. We found out that it was a granuloma and the doctor burned it so as to stop the puss. The umbilical cord fell off the next day and it's looking a lot better now. Also, she's back to her birth weight of 8 lbs 9 ozs which means she's getting a lot to eat. Jordyn is still having a lot of fussy time but she's also been sleeping a little more at night which is nice. She has also developed a diaper rash which makes her a little cranky but we're working on treating it. Despite the lost sleep and crying we are so happy and thrilled to have her and can't imagine our lives without her!

For other news, we were able to visit celebrate Mackenzie's and my b-day on Sunday. We drove to Phyliss' house and got to meet Uncle Kirk, Aunt Jen and cousins Mackenzie and Riley for the first time. We took tons of pictures and it was a lot of fun. I missed out on a good chunk of the party because Jordyn had to eat so much! It was great weather and we had a lot of good food although we did return home absolutely exhausted. We wanted to post some pictures of that as well.

Congratulations, Mr. Yates. I look forward to the day when you can take your daughter to Tabernacle and I can see her live and in person. By the way, Mr. Gus named his daughter Elizabeth Ann Gustafson.
