Baby Blessing

We blessed Gwen yesterday, March 29, 2009. The moment was sweet and peaceful.

I am so glad that I have an eternal family.

The Salute

Must have the MOVES!

I used some old cammies of Roland's to make his "uniform". Roland has given him a handful of old covers (hats) to use also over the years. I cut out the seams and did my best to "shrink" it down. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out and so is he.

Photo Phun...

I have an obsession with taking closeup pics of my kids, especially the little babies. They are my "parts" obsession, I suppose because you only see parts of the kids.=) This is Gwen's eye. I love how her eye was in focus, but not her nose which is only an inch away.

Lucky gal to have eyelashes like daddy.=)

Another cute smile picture.

Okay, sometimes I take a Mommy and Me Pic too.

1st trip to the park.

Just something humorous in this expression.

One Month Old pictures! She is wearing her green dress for St. Patrick's day, but... it was too hot that day to wear it again. YUMA!

And the Winner is...

"Kates"
Congratulations!
Thank you all for stopping by, commenting and humoring me with this fun giveaway. I think I may need to find another good excuse for a giveaway in the future. And thank you to my cousin's wife, Lauren, for letting me know about random.org so that picking a winner was easy, random, and fair.
Enjoy a few more snaps of our cutie...

Daddy Daughter... the winner, Kates, picked this as her fave, so I thought I would repost it!

This is the way Gwen prefers to be held by her dad when she is awake. It is amazing how she calms right down, looks around and enjoys life with this view.

Don't you want to do the same? I bet you are smiling right now! I was talking to her while taking pictures and she smiled. I grabbed the shot as quick as I could. I am so glad the camera was in my hands. Isn't she precious?

This look is precious too.

I have been trying to take pictures of her eyelashes. They are growing in so pretty, I am sure she'll have Roland's, just like her siblings.

Wearing the dress that Daddy bought for Eve, before we even knew she was going to be a girl! Tradition states that she must wear it, just as her sister did. That bow started to drive her crazy though, she kept rooting for it! We only got a few pictures in before she got upset. Yeah, that picture below is the look we get when she is mad. I see it a lot when changing her diaper or clothes too.

Poor girl. Good thing she quickly forgives when you pick her up and give her a good cuddle.
