The Life of a 1-Week-Old

Life is busy for our little 1-week-old. She has a lot to accomplish each day.
Such as staring out the window at the early morning sun. There’s a lot for those adjusting eyes to figure out.
And resting her sweet little head, while digesting her breakfast. That belly is always hard at work.
(Nothing’s cuter than a little milky drool, right?)
And throwing out a grin or two. Gas related? Probably.
But she tends to turn up the corners of that mouth when I tickle her chubby cheeks.
(11 pound babies come out knowing how to smile, I guess.)
She also tries so hard to figure out who’s talking to her and what we may be telling her. And possibly wonders why we’re constantly gushing over her and smothering her poor squishy cheeks with kisses.
.
It’s also a lot of work to fill that diaper. But with a little concentration, she’s mastering that task quite well.
After all that, she usually needs a little break…….and passes out for a while.
After a long nap, she repeats the above tasks several times throughout the day………and then we start again the next day.
Yep, she stays pretty busy.
It’s hard work being a newborn.
And we love that she’s getting the hang of it here in our home.
Oh she is SO beautiful! Those pictures are darling!!!
She is beautiful. I can't believe she weighed 11 pounds. You are awesome. Baby number 3 was magic for me. I hope you find her to be the same way. There is something about the third child that really makes you feel like a mother.
She is so cute :)
May god bless you!
LOVE! She is so adorable!
Mine is 4 months old and I already miss that newborn stage…although I'm liking the sleep :)
She is adorable!!

My first smiled right from the get go too! He was only 7 lbs 8 oz. I'd tickle his little foot and he would smile. Newborns are so sweet! Thanks for sharing yours with us!
She is absolutely beautiful and adorable! Seeing her makes me think about having another baby, but I already have four kids that I can barely handle! I have big babies too (9-11 lbs), it is the best, I wouldn't want it any other way! Congrats on your beautiful family!
She's so cute! Glad your enjoying every minute of it.

She is just precious! Once again, I really wanna squish those cheeks!

Oh, she is so sweet! She looks like her brother, doesn't she? Enjoy!
I love those sweet cheeks!!! There is nothing better than kissing such soft squishy cheeks! My little guy has a pretty good set himself :)
Very Very Sweet! My second was 10lb 6oz and it was like bringing home a 2 month old. He smiled a few days after he was home. Now with my third born at a whopping 7lb 7oz it is quite a difference.
your baby is soo cute!!
