Our First Family Pic

Last Sunday we went to visit Grandpa Bob (Scott) & Grandma Cherie for dinner. While we were there, we decided to use their backyard for a little picture taking. Here's what we got.

She really wasn't too interested in taking pictures, but it came out looking okay.

And there she is again, fast asleep. Now only if this could happen more often!

Our Cute Little Kairi

Well Kairi's been transitioning to home life better than Mom and Dad. She sleeps well, although Mom and Dad are still working on that for themselves. Poor little girl was a little jaundice, so they brought over a phototherapy bed for her to be in. It was really sad at first, but then it seemed like she really enjoyed it. Almost like she was tanning. Other than that, Kairi's been as cute as can be. Here's some pics for you all.

Here's our tanning baby. She's really going to enjoy Hawaii next year!

Mandy took some time to get our princess all pretty for a trip to Grandma Cherie's house.

And lastly our little girl playing a little peek-a-boo.

A Video of Kairi

Well hopefully this works. I just thought the video was a cute one that I just took this morning when we were both letting Mommy get some rest.

Home Sweet Home

Kairi finally got to go home on Wednesday. Needless to say, it was a little bit of an adjustment for her. Although it was pretty cute seeing her looking around at all the new things to look at. I guess a hospital room is a pretty boring place to look at. The nice part though is that Mom and Dad are getting a little more sleep due to the comforts of home. And as always, here's a few new pictures.

Here's Kairi right before leaving the hospital. I think she was excited to go home, just like Mom and Dad.

Kairi's Here!!!

So Mandy and I went to the hospital on Sunday in attempt to turn a little breach baby and ended up with a little girl the same day instead. We named her Kairi Kimiko Arakawa and she was born on Sunday, July 5th. She weighed in at 6 lbs 13 ounces and 20 inches long. Perfectly healthy and adorable. She's been a little bundle of joy who has been keeping Mom and Dad up all hours of the night. Here's a few pictures for you all. I'll be sure to add more later.

Here she is just an hour after being born receiving her first bath. She really enjoyed it when they washed her hair.

Just Mommy and Kairi posing for a quick photo.

11 Days & Counting

It's only 11 days away!!! Well not really, the baby gets to make that call. So basically it could be any day now or maybe two weeks from now, who knows? Otherwise, Chadd and Mandy are scrambling to get everything ready. The biggest obstacle, MAKING ROOM FOR THE BABY!!
