Alaina's first days

Alaina Lee Puffenbarger joined our family on the morning of October 7th.  
She is beautiful and we are so blessed to have her in our lives.  
 We came home from the hospital on Friday, Oct 11 - where she found the open and waiting arms of her big sister. I am waiting for the novelty of the "new baby" or "baby Ali" to wear off a bit - but as of right now, she is still the celebrity of the house.
1 week old!
Alaina had moderate bilirubin levels so we gave her 24 hours of formula to keep her out of the hospital.  Her big sister was thrilled to have a chance to participate in feeding the baby - and even learned about burping her.  Emmalyn is a pro now when she feeds all of her baby dolls. :)
Alaina has been a good eater, sleeper, and generally will take a lot from her siblings - so it looks like she is going to fit in well. :)
Story time with Daddy!
Even though we are still figuring it all out - especially as Daddy returns to work tomorrow - we are so happy as a family of 5 (and thankful to have my mom's help for the next 10 days!)!

I'm pretty sure that once you have more than 2 kids its hard to keep names and birthdays straight...maybe in you're case it was auto correct? :)
