Kiya Goes Home...and Kiya Makes Four!

Today is finally the day that we were able to go home with our new little girl. (Of course I am posting this much later...I have been tired, what can I say). The hospital staff has been amazing, but it is time to brave it on our own. Not to mention to sleep in our own beds with our WHOLE family.

We packed our things, and Dave gets Kiya dressed and ready to see the world outside the hospital. Caiden was such a big helper as he kept a close watch on his baby sister and told us what she was doing all the way home. (She was sleeping, but he kept telling us she was "ok" and that she was doing "alright").

When we got home, Caiden was such a good big brother. He showed her around her new home. First, he showed Kiya her new room, and pointed out where she would sleep, where her clothes would be and even the dragon picture that we were going to hang up. (He made commentary on everything). He then showed Kiya his room, and then of course the playroom.

He was so good at holding her, but Grammie Sue was there to make sure that Kiya didn't fall.

Then it was time to introduce Kiya to the dogs. Now, Hunter didn't seem to care much. He was so excited to see us after 3 days that he kept coming up to us. He briefly sniffed Kiya, determined she was ok, and never really paid attention to her again. Flash on the other hand wanted to lick her, but then quickly became bored as well. I was a little suprised by Flash's reaction because when Caiden was born he slept in the nursery (on the floor) with Caiden and protected him.

Flash was a little more interested
She smells good to flash
So he thought he would give her a little kiss

So far all looks good, and Kiya is getting comfortable in her new home.
