One Month


 It is not so easy to take pictures of a one month old.  She is not sure what to do with herself when she is awake, so happiness lasts for only a few shots.  In between she is spitting up, so every has to be done fast.  The first three photos were taken at exactly 4 weeks of age (so not quite exactly one month).  The lighting was terrible because it was overcast and she was not a cooperative participant, but it is the only picture that shows exactly how big or small she is....whoops!
 Grandma was here that day, so we got a picture with grandma.
 Unhappy without the pacifier though.
 One morning she was just looking around and content to be seeing the world around her.
 We tried the photos again today after church.  I like the close-up photos of her face better than the whole body shots.  I was not as happy about how these turned out in comparison to her newborn photos, but I think that I am going to just have to move on and hope that we capture some better moments at 2 months.








 These head shots at the end I like much better.  She is more alert and happy.


Time in the Hospital

 Today I finally had a little time download pictures and found some pictures to share from the hospital.  Above is a picture of Violet in her bassinet at the hospital.  Her dad brought in the blanket just for the occasion. I laughed a little because to me it is a boy's blanket.
Self portrait. Looking lovely.

 Gotta love the gown sleeve undone. I look a little uncomfortable, but the baby girl sure looks cuddly.
 She was a snuggler from the beginning and very sweet.
 A picture of the whole family. Does she look more like me or Abdu? I think that dad wins.

Sleeping away.
