At Two Weeks

Today Beatrice Emily is 2 weeks and 2 days old. My mom could tell you exactly how many hours she is. Every day moves so quickly and she seems to change before our eyes. I took these pictures yesterday (in her third outfit of the day--she seems to produce prodigious amounts of laundry for one so small, how did I forget about that?) The sweater she is wearing was knit for me when I was a baby by my Oma. I thought it looked so pretty with the quilt my mom made for Beatrice. You can't see it, but in the middle is a "B" appliqued with a sweet little bumble bee on top.

Such a serious face, and such deep eyes. I am not holding on too hard for blue or green eyes. They are looking pretty dark already. But at least she is keepin her hair (so far!) This was her daddy's favorite picture. Just look at that little rosebud of a mouth!

I just love baby feet. Hers look like her dad's.

She is actually only a week plus a few days in this picture. But I love how protective Everett is with his hand. He is becoming such a good helper and is so sweet with his sister.

Also an "older picture" but it shows off one of her sweet dimples. My mom and grandmother remind me that dimples only become wrinkles, but they are so, so, so, adorable.
