this beautiful little girl is so sweet. she is 4 weeks old today. and she was 8 pounds, 4 ounces at birth. those things combined make her the largest and oldest newborn i have photographed. ever.
she did not want to sleep for the first while, which was fine by me. she was wide awake. i love alert babies. she seemed so curious and aware. it was wonderful. this beautiful quilt was made by her mom and great-grandmother. i LOVE the colors! i wish i had a full picture of it to show you just how neat it is.
it took her mom a while to get her to sleep, but it wasn't because she didn't try.
and once she was asleep, i really didn't want to move her.
i love alert babies, but i love sleepy babies, too. they are so perfect and... i could go on and on. but i think you know what i am trying to say. babies are just plain wonderful. and i think we were lucky she slept as well as she did once she was out. the older babies get, the more easily disturbed they are and the less they want to sleep. so, i am thankful she slept. and i am also thankful she was awake, too.

these are so great. i love the alert ones and that fun blanket. oh and the smiley sleep one is SO cute!!
all these photos are gorgeous - but the last one of her cute little sleeping smile! Absolutely adorable - i think a perfect title would be "Dreams of Heaven"
Shanda, what can I say? I LOVE them! You are such a great photographer
