Tuesday marked one week of Nell's life in the outside world. We celebrated the occasion with cake.
Nell's accomplishments so far include:
~ Sneezing (usually in twos, occasionally in threes, almost never a single sneeze at a time) ~
~ Poking her fingers in her eyes with alarming precision ~
~ Crossing her eyes like a pro ~
~ Sticking her tongue out ~
~ Sucking her thumb (or her wrist or arm when she can't find her thumb) ~
~ Sleeping four to five hours at a time at night ~
~ Having her Dad wrapped around her little finger ~
~ Eliciting oohs and aahs from everyone who sees her ~
The first week in review
First day at home (less than one day old):
Two days old:

chillin' with Dad
Five days old:
Grandma took a break from making us delicious meals to hold a sleepy Nell

Six days old:
yawning:
don't tell me this isn't a smile... I know infants supposedly don't smile this young, but I am convinced that our girl does!
One week old!
We love this baby girl!
What great pictures, and what a beautiful baby girl! I love that picture of Nell on Nathan's lap while he is playing the piano. And I think new babies smile too. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, Mom made it out there the first week! (I didn't know that - glad it worked out.) I love the photo of Nell on Nathan's lap while he's playing the piano. That girl is going to know more about music before she's four than most people know in a lifetime. :)
ReplyDeleteI love love love all the pictures! She is the cutest little thing! And not so little anymore according to the first post I read:) Yes, babies do smile that young. We decided there was a difference between a social smile (in response to external stimuli) and a smile that they just have on their face because they feel content and that all is right in their world from inside themselves. I think they can even have a social smile pretty darn young, too.
