If only pictures could do her justice...

Picture taking woes:
I can be staring right at her and snap a picture and then look at the picture and think it doesn't even look like her. The color is wrong, the angle is flat, and she just looks so much cuter in person. Maybe I need a new camera? Maybe it's just that she's cuter in real life? I guess you'll all just have to come and visit to see how cute she really is. But here are some pictures to tide you over.

In the stroller ready for our daily walk. We both love our walks together. Sometimes she sleeps and sometimes she looks around for the whole hour and tries to absorb the new sights and sounds. She loves the cool air on her face and closes her eyes and leans into the breeze. My daily walks are much more fun with her along.

Hug Me
Hug me...are you kidding? I want to kiss you, squeeze you, cuddle you, love you, and eat you up. Hug you. That's an understatement.

Grape sucker anyone?
I know, a little disturbing that it looks like the nutritionist is feeding her 3 week old baby purple Popsicles, but the truth is, we have thrush and the medicine used to fight it is a purple dye that leaves her lips purple for the day. Only one more treatment *hopefully* and then back to normal, but kind of funny for now.

Cute sleeper.

Cute baby. Hot hubby. Lucky mommy :)

I was just gonna say: 'Check out those lashes" OK...she's a keeper. :)

AND...you're going to have to let her grow a little bit before you try and fit all that other stuff on her t-shirt. :)

Awww. If she is cuter in real life, then she must be pretty perfect. She looks adorable to me. I hope the thrush goes away!! We got tested for it a few times...but never had it. Phew! It was some other, unknown, ailment...that really hurt mama. I hope this isn't killing you! p.s. When I saw the purple mouth, I was thinking "No, Michelle would NOT feed a newborn candy...right?" I was right, but concerned for a brief moment that someone else corrupted your sweet girl :)

I want to see her and hug and kiss and squish and snuggle her! I can't wait until I can! She's so beautiful! I'm so happy for you guys.

Evelyn looked at the first and second picture and said, "he has brown hair." She still can't figure out that he, goes with boys and she goes with girls, it's always he. She know's girls and boys, and him and her, but not he and she.
