I was very excited to learn of the 52 week project.  I’m a few weeks behind, but would love to catch up and post on a weekly basis.  It’s amazing how quickly my baby girl is growing and think viewing a special picture each week will be a great way to capture this amazing time.

Week 8:

This week I was reminded through my weekly email from What to Expect that tummy time is important.  I tried something a little different today and used our mombo pillow to prop up  Baby Girl.  I put it on this big chair in her room so that her and I could be face to face with her, thought she might like this better than on the floor.  As soon as I had her up on the chair, our cocker, Lizi, jumped up next to Baby V.  Somehow I managed to get this great shot.  Lizi always poses when I get out the camera and she decided she should be in Baby V’s picture today.  I LOVE it!

Week 7:

Happy Valentine’s Day from Baby V.  We took a number of photo shoots over a couple of days with a few different “outfits”.  I thought this one looked cute!

Week 6:

Fresh out of her bath, we wrapped Baby Girl up in this sweet little sleep sack that my great-aunt made.  It actually belongs to my nephew, Baby V’s godfather.  It’s on loan.

Week 5:

Baby Girl sitting with mommy like a big girl already!

Week 4:

Baby Girl in her Pack N Play bassinet.  This cute outfit is from a dear friend that was back home in Omaha for a short visit; she now lives in Greece and hasn’t been back to the states in a year.  It may be another year or more before we see her again.

Week 3:

January 18 is A.A. Milne’s birthday and Baby V celebrated by doing a photo shoot with her friends from the 100 acre woods.  This is her Papi’s favorite.

Week 2:

Baby Girl’s first bath!  Bath time was not her favorite thing.

Week 1:

Baby Girl laying on her changing pad, one of her favorite places.
