Ryan went back to work yesterday. I know it was tough for him... me too. So yesterday it was just me and my girl. It wasn't too bad, though I didn't get anything accomplished. Mom took the day off today to help me out a bit. She cleaned Piper's bathroom for me, went to Walgreens with us, and helped me organize Piper's room a little more. It was a big help. Especially when I wanted to take a shower and when Piper insisted on a bottle while I was trying to pick up. We're by ourselves again tomorrow, but Friday Mom has off. So Friday Mom, Piper and I will be venturing out. We're going to open a savings account for Piper. Then we're going to head to MGM so the girls I was working with can meet Piper (Daddy will be there too) and so we can watch the parade (it has a new opening unit that I haven't seen yet for the new movie Cars).
It's really amazing how much one tiny little person can affect your life. I knew she would, but I never imagined it would be this much. I find myself staring at her when she's doing nothing more than napping, holding her just because I don't want to put her down and smiling at her when again she's just sleeping. I can see it in Ryan's eyes too. He is head over heels for his little girl. He is a GREAT Dad. And I can tell that he feels the same way I do. Being a mother is the toughest job anyone will ever have, but it's also the most important and most rewarding. I finally know how my mother feels. I hope that I am as good at this job as she is.
Piper's bathroom is all rubber duckies. So we decided we'd take a picture of her with some of them to frame and hang on the wall. She was being very difficult. As you can see by the first photo, she doesn't like being naked. But at least we got one good one!
spot to watch the parade. During the parade all the characters paid extra special attention to Piper, they loved her! After the parade a few more friends from the entertainment department came to meet Piper. On the way out we stopped to meet Minnie and Alice. Piper's first trip to Disney was lots of fun. 
We can't wait to show her the other 3 parks!
We introduced Piper to Puppy (Pluto for you non-Disney folk) for the first time. She was very surprised to see him on her belly. But she still liked him. We have a Disney Dork in the making!
Piper loves her swing that her Papi (Papi is Grandpa Kirsch) got her. She fell asleep seconds after we put her in it. And she loves our squishy couch too. Well, I guess she really likes anything that's soft and warm to nap on.
Daddy's lips and ears. She is beautiful and we can't stop looking at her. She loves to cuddle and often will start crying hte second she is set down. She is very alert, her eyes don't stop moving, but I don't think she can see clearly yet. Enjoy a few pictures of her first day in the world.
