The Face We’re Enjoying Seeing Every Day

February 6, 2015 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

We are really enjoying this little girl! It’s hard to believe she’s already three and a half weeks old. She’s growing fast; as of a week ago, she was over 9 pounds already. She spends her time either eating or sleeping, with a short period of time occasionally of being awake and looking around or playing. Her favorite place to sleep, of course, is on someone; right now, she’s sleeping on me. I’m thankful that usually someone is happy to hold her when I need to do something! We are teaching her to sleep by herself, and she usually sleeps in her own bed for 2-4 hours at night.

One day old, with the two-year-old:

Ten days old:

Eleven days; we had church here at our house because our van was broken down and everyone came here for a change. She wore a dress my sister made Esther, and the same sister gave me the fabric for my dress (Mom made it while she was here in November). The blanket came from an anonymous person who just left it inside the door one evening!

Two weeks old; this gown was made for me by my grandmother (my dad’s mother), 40 years ago!

Almost three weeks (yes, she’s listening to all sorts of stories already):

Three weeks, with big sister:
