I'm an auntie!

Congratulations to my sister and her husband on the birth of their baby girl this morning. I'm sad we aren't closer - 2 girls 3 weeks apart sure would be fun!

Maybe sometime in the future? For the time being, I'll entertain myself with trying to figure out how to get there to get my hands on my new niece!

A complaint

It's hot. Hot and humid. Not great for a newborn baby or her mama!

Pretty big girl!

3 week faces

Here are the rest from our impromptu little shoot this morning

3 weeks, more pics

also love her little worried face, her I'm bored with you face, her sneezing face, and her focused/studious face!

3 weeks old

Gemma is 3 weeks old. She is growing and changing - we're working to take it all in!

This week she has started showing some cute smiles to several different people. However, everyone knows that the first smile is not counted until it is directed at the Mama. So, the very cute series of smiles she directed at daddy last night were just gas or something similar. Likewise for the ones she gave to her siblings today! They don't count!

Here are a few of her cute newborn faces from the morning. This girl already has some cute faces!

For the record, I love the little ooo face age makes, the big stretches, the cross eyed look that makes her look so silly, her woodpecker bobble, her hungry face and all the ones in between!

A whine

Driving in the car this morning

William: I'm so glad I found my watch this morning! Mom! Mom! Mom! It's 11:02 now!
Mama: great!

---------1 minute later------

(whining voice from the backseat)

Amelia: it's not fair...(fake cry)
Mama:(distracted) what? What's wrong?
Amelia: when I breathe, the air comes out of my nose! (fake cry)

----------30 seconds later---------

William: mom! Mom! Mom! It's 11:03! Mom!

Mama: thanks William!

------1 min later------------------------

William: mom! Mom! Mom! It's 11:04!
Mama: thanks William!

----------------1 minutes later----------

Amelia: (fake cry)
Mama: huh? What now?
Amelia: I don't like what time it is...it's not fair!
Mama: hmmmm...
Amelia: I want it to be 10:32 again!
Mama: I'll get right to work on that.
