Hooked up the Printer: Pics Before Monday


Everyone who has more than one child knows about the growth vortex that seems to suck in the first child the day after you've had your second child, and spits it back out three years larger than it was just yesterday. Well, the vortex got Smidge. My wee, precious, little Smidge.



The boys call this her "worried look" - she makes this face right after they've done one of their run-by smoochings on her unsuspecting forehead. One minute, nothing, the next minute, *smack*. What in the world was that?!?


If you sing to her, you'll get one of these expressions. It'll make you laugh, and she'll revert back to the worried look, above. (If she had actual eyebrows, you could tell they're raised. As it is, you have to go by the Bunnicula peak on her forehead - the whole forehead raises up. Weird.)



This was one of the first smiles we got - back in February. Love those cheeks!


I have no idea what Zorak did to cause her to make this face, but had to capture it.


And whatever it was, he soon remedied that and got one of these grins - this is when she's trying to decide if it's worth an all-out laugh or not, but wants you to keep it up while she decides.


This is how she looks most of the day, now. (Well, only in color, but I couldn't get the color true in the pictures, so there ya go, black and white.)


And here she is, the Proverbial Baby. (Note the absolutely exquisite blanket - a blogging friend made that for her - it's like a lacy cloud. She's lucky I let her borrow it.)

We have received some of the most thoughtful, sweet, and loving gifts for her. I will post photos of her with them soon. Thank you, all, so much!

Kiss those babies!

Oh...OH!! Is she precious or is she precious?! Could you just dunk her in your coffee?! Could you just sop her up with a biscuit?!

::Sigh::...babies.

The pic of her and Smidge together is *precious*.

LOL about the 'run-and-smooch'. :o)

What a lovely surprise! Pictures! (I love pictures.) She is SO Incredibly beautiful! I just love all her funny expressions, and her happy smile, and her sweet sleeping face. Awwwww!

Thanks Dy. And now that you've got the printer set up, how about some of the boys & the renovations!

Cordially,
Melora

P.S. -- Smidge is adorable too, and he looks like a baby as well, just a bigger baby.

Oh! She's adorable! Even without hair and eyebrows she still looks so feminine. :)

And Smidge still has those precious baby cheeks. That picture of them sleeping is very sweet!

Hugs from me!

I just love the "Expressions of Miss Em". Babies are just so darn cute you wanna hug'em and love'em and squeeze'em. Who says that? (Tigger???)
She is one beautiful baby, Dy!
Give her a big smoochie on that cute little forehead from Auntie Dawn!

Emily said...

WOW!! She is just too cute! Those cheeks remind me of Smidge (I can't beleive that is him!! He is so big!!).

Lil' Em is so sweet! It's official, I have baby fever :) (Good thing we have one on the way!).

Oh, what beautiful pictures, thank you!! She is absolutely darling. And you all did such a great job of capturing all these different emotions and facial expressions. I only seem to be able to get sleeping, perplexed, and crying. *grin*

And I can't believe how big Smidge looks in that first picture - wow! Such a sweet picture, they both look so cozy and peaceful.
