Brooklynn

This girl was pretty stubborn coming into the world and waited 8 days past her due date -- and then came in at a whopping 9 lbs. 13 oz. I got to meet her and snap these pictures when she was only 7 days old, and was in awe at how cute she was. And yes, I am green with envy over all of that beautiful hair, seeing as my kids seem to be on the slow-to-grow-hair path in life. I feel a special link to this girl's mom because she had four boys before her little girl came along -- and seeing as I had three boys before my little lady, I absolutely understand just how exciting it is to finally get some pink in the house. Don't get me wrong -- I love my three boys like crazy, it's just fun to get to try something new and experience what it is like to raise a girl!



I love that it looks like she is laughing in her sleep here ...

Of course we had a few grumpy moments:

and a few shots of her looking worried -- probably just annoyed I kept trying to disturb her beauty sleep:

Before we got some gorgeous, wide-eyed shots:






I love all the little details!

Thanks Brooklynn and Mom for letting me play with you!
