8 weeks oh my!

It marvels me that time can go by so quickly but seem like an eternity ago.  For all I know it was Christmas yesterday, BUT at least I can say we are having the time of our lives!!  Waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for this little joy to join us has made all the moments that much sweeter.  The greatest baby ever resides in our home.  There is much to share, but here are a few goodies from the past 8 weeks.  Mind you most of them are taken via iPhone so don't mind some blur here and there.

December 8: Her one week birthday and actual due date




December 14: Found a teddy bear just her size




December 18: Discovered she likes the Moby wrap



December 19: Still loving slumbering with her fist to her face



December 25: First Christmas morning



December 29: Realized that she will be forced to take a family Christmas pic whether she is tired or not




January 9: Witnessed her momma-beans go crazy over how cute of a daughter she has



January 19: Gave her first smiles for the camera to text to her papa all the way in San Fransisco...did I mention she can text already?



January 21: Found her new favorite nook to sleep in and has since visited it oft


Then later found her face with her tiny long finger nail :(


But then quickly recovered to smile some more so momma wouldn't have a guilt-stricten breakdown...why is it so scary to trim those little devils?!?




January 23: Had her first visit to the Womble grandparent's home to celebrate her papa's upcoming 30th b-day.  She also met her cousin Oliver who is just 19 days younger than her!




Wow she is the best!!

The only thing I hate about newborns: how darn fast they grow!!! She's darling and I love the smile with the tongue extension. So cute.

Isn't being a mom the best!! Your little girl is so cute and such a tiny thing!

Rosie said...

eee! i love her smiles! even though she usually just turns them upside down when I come over. It's okee, she doesn't know we're best friends yet i guess.

Kathleen said...

She is excellent! I love the tongue out for the smile. What a cutie pie! Love it up, it goes way way way too fast.

Gabe! your baby girl is so beautiful! I don't know if you remember us or not from that Provo married student ward or not, but I remember you guys, and just found your through anther blog. Congratulations on your BEAUTIFUL baby. All three of you look fantastic!! my favorite pic is the one of her lying in front of the tree. SO SO cute to see those little newborn bird legs. You must be so proud. :)

I don't use the nails trimmers for a long time. While I am feeding the baby I will use my teeth and tear the nail. Their nails are so soft you hardly have to do anything and then that way you don't accidentally clip their skin.

I love her chubby cheeks. So great!

You cute thing!! I was so surprised and happy to hear from my long lost friend! My mom confessed to seeing you the other day and she went on and on about your darlingness and that you were expecting!! Congratulations! What a gorgeous family and home and face you have! i remember me and Mckay would always say, when we grow up we want to be Gabe. It didn't happen but then again I'm not really grown up either!
This is fun! I will check your blog often, I already love it!
