How are you feeling today?

Sleepy

Bright-eyed

Talkative [when I use the camera flash, it looks like she has more hair!]

Cheeky. [isn’t it crazy how big a difference the camera angle and position make—her cheeks look so juicy in this one!]

Distressed

Very distressed

Pacified. [we got Rose her first pacifier (aka binky) this week, and she’s about 50/50 for love/hate it right now]

Energetic

Amazed

Happy!?

Rose and I spend lots of time in my recliner. Tonight I was just holding her, basking in her cuteness, and I decided to go overboard with the camera. Can you believe she made all of these faces within 10 minutes?

Now for some motion:

I finally took a little video showcasing Jay’s drinking abilities, sans-sippy cup. There’s something about babies that makes me want to take a million pictures, and something about toddlers that makes me want to take a million videos! I think the older kids get, the harder it is to capture their cuteness in a mere pictures, so I resort to recording.

 

But babies are fun to watch in videos too! Rose seems pretty strong for a 3 week old baby girl, wouldn’t you say?

Can you tell I’m in Mommy-heaven? Yes, some days I feel distressed, and most days I feel sleepy, but most of all I feel happy and so blessed to be The Mom of these two sweet ones.  I love my little cuties!

It’s good to feel needed.
