3 Weeks Old!

I took these photos when Sasha was almost 3 weeks old... I love the first one so much- I think she looks like a little doll! She is still doing great- but keeping me up at night (I'm so tired)! She's so sweet and precious though- it's very worth it!

In my faux fur hat...

There is nothing quite like her smile... I think this photo really captures the essence of my sweet Sophie Lu (and it may be one of my all time favorites of her)! Click here to really see it...


Precious, perfect little face- I still can't get enough kisses each day...


Silly girl!


One day last month, Sophie grabbed this faux fur hat (I used to wear it on the slopes back in the day-lol) so she could play dress-up again. I can't decide whether she reminds me of a Russian snow princess or a little Eskimo girl- but either way, it seems to frame her beautiful face just perfectly~ :)

Sisters Sophie & Sasha (18 days old)!

I call this one, "This is MY baby sister!" Sophie Lu is very protective of Baby Sasha!








I just had to post all of these because I couldn't decide which ones I like best- they are all so special to me~

*Coming soon- photos of all three (wish me luck)!

Sasha (2 weeks & chubby cheeks)!

1 I love Sasha's pose in this photo! She's so sweet- I just can't get enough of her!

3 Look at those cheeks!!!


4 I originally passed this photo by, but after changing it to b/w- I think it might just be my favorite so far...

I took these photos of Sasha when she was just 12 days old! She is still doing great and at her 12 day checkup, she weighed in at 9 lbs 8 oz!!! She gained an entire p0und in one week!

I am healing more with each day, but still pretty sore... Sophie Lu is feeling better, but Ollie is still sick- so there may be some Sophie & Sasha sister pics coming soon, but I'll have to wait to get some family shots...

Thanks again to everyone for all of your sweet comments about Sasha! I'm just so in love with her!!!

My Kitten in her Mittens, Kitty Watching Over, & Sasha Meets her Grandparents!

My Kitten in her mittens! Sasha wears the tiniest pairs of soft cotton mittens to keep her from scratching herself, and I think she looks so adorable in them! (and I love her little pose here too) :)

Baby Pumpkin watching over who he thinks is his kitten! Cats are so amazing!

Grandpa Elliot came to meet his newest grand-daughter the day she came home from the hospital! Of course, Sophie Lu just had to get in for the photo! :)

Grandma Rae came to visit for a few days- here she is with Sasha at just one week old!

Grandma Loretta (and Grandpa Felix) also came to meet their newest grand-daughter (Sasha is their 12th grand-child)! Sasha was two weeks old here...

Baby Sasha sleeps with her hands straight up like this- as if she is surrendering or something... I think it's soooo cute!

Last, but not least, I want to thank everyone who sent flowers, mailed cards, and brought gifts! They all meant so much to me, but nothing helped with my healing quite like this beautiful cookie bouquet from my friend Ashley & daughter Madeline! I think Sophie and I devoured these yummy cookies within 24 hours! Yum! :)

More Sasha at one week!

Open your eyes, litle princess (Sasha- one week old)

My sweet Sasha,

You are one week old now and growing more beautiful every day. It's hard to look at you without swelling my eyes with tears- you are so amazing, my tiny, precious miracle. I can't describe how very much I love you...

I just love these photos of you with your eyes open. You have the most beautiful deep dark blue eyes I've ever seen. I get lost looking into them, and my heart melts when I see that you are looking into mine.

At one week old, you are still such a sleepy baby girl- you sleep most of the day and night. And when you are awake, you just want me to snuggle and nurse you- and then you drift right back into sleep. I look at you and wonder what you are dreaming about, and I pray that I am taking good care of you and making you happy. I can't wait until your first smile~

You are such a sweet little baby. You are so quiet and peaceful and delicate. I am so lucky to be your Mommy- so lucky that once again, angels were watching over me, and God sent me yet another perfect gift- the child who was meant for me, who fills my heart, and who gives my life new meaning.

Happy one week together, my sweet Sasha Lili.

Love forever,
Mommy
