baby pictures

 It's been a wonderful week, welcoming this child, so happy to have her with us.

 When they arrived the other day, Dannell told me to pluck her from the carseat.   I asked her if she was sure?  Yes, she needs to be waked up to eat.

So, that's enough for me.  But then p.j. was right there on the bench beside me, "Oh Gramma, look it!   Look at her little hands!"  She kissed her head.

The displaced brother is actually coping pretty well.  He likes her.  Life has changed, but it's going to be okay.

These are from today--she's a little jaundiced, so its important that she nurse.  But first she had to be unwrapped and undressed from her little cozy cocoon.

 Here she is, all dressed, ready to have her heel pricked again.  Dannell nursed her through this so she never even cried.

I like that method.

 Here they are, working the Etch-A-Sketch.

 And he showed up after work to meet his new niece.

It was a great, baby day.

Nothing but love, Val, aka GRANDMA
