Happy Easter!

Miles and Chloe First Baths

Miles and Chloe enjoyed their first bath time approximately one week after they came home from the hospital.

Chloe seemed to really enjoy the water and tried to slurp the water every time it splashed near her mouth while Miles was a little apprehensive at first but warmed up quickly after a little help from a new friend...the pacifier.

Chloe's first bath...a natural with the water:

Ahh nice and clean and warm:

Miles first bath:

Chillin with the binky...

And nice and clean and warm...still with binky:

Ta Da!!!...Clean Baby.

Getting Comfy in Home Sweet Home...

In the weeks following Chloe and Miles continued to grow more comfortable in their new home surroundings. And of course there were the few dedicated fans that continued to visit:

Grandpa Burke napping with Chloe:

Grandma Stephanie with both babies:

Uncle Oliver and Auntie Rosalyn with Miles and Chloe:

Mom and Miles:

Nana Kristine with Miles:

And so there was pooping, feeding, diapering and burping.

Some late nights: Chloe with bottle and remote, settling in for the night.

Quite a few naps...

And for sure, plenty of boppy lounging:

What a life...

Going Home

After four days in the hospital. The new Leon family was finally released to go home. Miles and Chloe were still fighting their jaundice issues but were cleared for the time being to go home with Mom and Dad. Everyone was happy to leave the tiny hospital room that we all shared for those first days.

And finally home at last:

Chloe: "Hey do you feel like a 'jet fighter pilot' in this seat?...Yeah, so do I. And what's with these hats? I thought we lived in southern California?"

Miles: "Zzzzzzzzzzzzz"

Time for a first nap together:

And so the journey begins...

Visitors, Visitors and more Visitors...

After Miles and Chloe's grand entrance, the wait was finally over and the grandmas, grandpas and aunts and uncles were eager to get a glimpse. Although everyone was eager to see the nuggets, only a select few were invited for these first visits due to the very busy schedule the nuggets had these first days in the hospital.

We thank all our friends and other family for waiting until we returned home for their visits. As you can imagine it was very chaotic at times with all the doctor visits and such during our hospital visit...to which mom and dad affectionately call this time "Baby Bootcamp".

Birth Day!

On Friday March 27th at 7:50a Chloe Reese was born at Glendale Memorial Hospital. Shortly after at 7:51a she was joined by her brother Miles Flynn. Miles was very busy voicing his opinions with his cries, while Chloe was wide-eyed and very interested in what was going on around her in her new surroundings. Very quickly they became the favorite amongst all the nurses taking care of them.
