Baby girl is 6 weeks old today. When I look back at her newborn pictures (which I still do very often) I cannot believe how much she has grown. Just holding her she feels more solid and sturdy now. She will always be my little china doll though. Not only has her little body grown, but so has her personality! She has begun to smile at us...a LOT. The first few times she did it we still attributed it to "gas." But we noticed she mainly smiled when we got in her face and talked to her, so then we knew those gummy grins were meant for us. Talk about melting your heart! I daydream about that little smile at work. She is a morning baby like her Mama and Papa and hands out smiles like candy at her 3:30 am feeding so I never mind taking duty for those feeds!
Knock on wood, but it seems like we have all begun to hit a stride. She is such a good little baby. She only cries when she is wet, tired...or most importantly, HUNGRY! But other than that, she love, love, loves to cuddle in our arms when sleeping and lay on her giraffe mat and "talk" to us when awake. She gets so excited when we mimic her little coos back to her! We are still working on trying to like tummy and bath time...stay tuned!
Here are some pictures from her 6-week photo shoot. What would we do without Daddy the photographer?! He is so good at getting those little smiles to appear, too!
Look at those oh-so-kissable cheeks she now has!
It always takes a few pictures to warm up to the camera...
Getting warmer...
And here they come...smiles to melt your heart!
This little outfit is one that Granny got for Madelyn, one of her friends made this...isn't it gorgeous? You cannot buy outfits like those. Glad we put it on her when we did, it was almost too small...ugh, wasn't it just yesterday that you were wearing preemie clothes, baby love?!
Kaimi always loved the color purple...and if you cannot tell, I have always loved pink. But, I think Madelyn pulls purple off quite well!
Thank you sweet baby for making these last 6 weeks the sweetest of my life.
