A Few of My Favorite Things...

Emma's first week at home flew by so quickly...I made sure to take the time to take pictures of all her little features that change so fast as she grows.  It's so easy to forget how tiny these little ones are at the beginning of life.  Here are a few of my favorite things about one week old baby Emma.

 

It's so sweet how she likes to be cuddled up into a little ball and how she makes little whimpering noises as she sleeps.

She looks bigger than she actually is in this picture.  I love how she's small enough to fit inside this little basket...and how as a newborn she'll stay asleep as I move her around and reposition her.

I love her beautiful rosy colored skin and her chubby little cheeks.  I love that she has lots of dark hair that I can style and brush.

I love her cute little fingers...they are long like mine...perhaps another pianist in the making.

I love how she sucks her bottom lip in while she's asleep...and could those chubby cheeks and little nose get any cuter?

I love tiny little baby ears...and the soft baby fuzz that covers a newborn's body...too precious.

I love how soft her skin is, and how sweet she smells.

I love her tiny little feet and cute little toes...

This picture cracks me up...she is so relaxed and completely comfortable snoozing in her basket.

I love that Emma is such a perfect mixture of our family's features...she reminds me of each one of our older six children...capturing features from each one of them.

I especially love how she grasps onto my fingers with her tiny little hand...completely helpless and completely trusting.

I love her beautiful fingernails...

Happy first week of life Emma! 

And stop growing so fast!  There's no hurry!
