babies and eye candy
At 5 weeks old Lily is "tall and slim" - per her pediatrician. Isn't that sweet? Lily weighs 10lbs 10oz which is in the 90th percentile for weight, and at 23” long she's in the 97th percentile for height.
She truly looks longer everyday. She's still wearing size newborn clothing but they're getting just a bit snug on her so it won't be long before she fully outgrows them.
When I do put her in something that is newborn size, and it still fits her, I feel a little sigh of relief just knowing that my new baby girl isn't growing too quickly for me to handle it. I mean, of course I'm going to put a big H on my chest and handle it (haha - remember that?) but I'd reeeeally like her to stay this age for a looooong time. :)
I don't mind the nighttime feedings, or the crazy hours she likes to be awake. Besides, I've been a night owl for quite a long time - so it's nice to have her follow in my footsteps. haha!
And now for a 10 second Etsy break. Here's one of my Etsy favorites. I'm totally loving this "little BIRDie and flowers" from emilie friday. She says "I have made this little bird, instead of getting a parakeet.":
I hear ya Emilie. There have been lots of times when I almost brought home a cute lil parakeet from PetSmart. Though I'm not sure how my GSD Aleethea would feel about that. She's can be pretty Sylvesterish sometimes, if you know what I mean.
Almost two thousand pictures.That's how many pictures I've taken since Lily Alexandra blessed us with her sweet little presence. What better way to make time stand still?
I have a super hard time selecting just a few pics to post here. I want to post them all! Every shot of this beautiful newborn baby girl is the one I want you to see. So if a week or so goes by without a post from me - you'll know it's because I'm still deciding which pictures to upload and show you. :) She's so amazing. It's pretty difficult to not take pictures of her.
I always have the camera on me, or at least right next to me. I bring it from room to room with us in the house, and everywhere we go. I carry my camera around almost as much as I carry Lily around. And yeah, that's alot. More like...ALOT.
I got plenty of sewing accomplished this weekend, and finished up several orders from my shop. A major big thank you to the Hubbs Joe for everything he does to help!
These are just some of the minky baby burp cloths, Binky Blankies and owl onesies (owl kimonos) that are on their way out to one of my very patient customers. Full of super yummy fabrics and loaded with handmade goodness for some lucky little babies:
And I've once again gotten used to doing things with one hand while holding Lily (like typing, for example...not sewing. haha) and I'm getting pretty good at it too. Blogging with sentence case and all of that. Look out. hehe.
Checkout this cute typewriter pillow from Track and Field Designs:
Look at my son in this picture. Joey loves our little photo shoots. He giggles alot when I take pictures of him, and that makes me happy. More like...HAPPY!!! :D
Joey is a real big help with his baby sister, he's so loving and gentle with her, and helpful too. If he sees her blanket somewhere, he'll bring it to me and say "Here you go Mama, here you go babymoo, I bring dah blankie foh da baby."
Sometimes he gets real close up to her face and sings the alphabet - well most of it anyway - and Lily just sits there and listens to him with her eyebrows all scrunched up and her eyes wide open.
I think they'll have tons of fun playing together when Lily gets a bit older. Yes, I can see it now...
Doesn't Lily look like she's wearing a crown in this picture??
Well...if the crown fits! hehe, I couldn't resist.
Thanks for stopping by, I really love it when you visit us.
