My baby girl is already two weeks old. **sigh**
We were fortunate enough to have a photo shoot with the AMAZING Sarak Kristiansen on Saturday, thanks to a cancellation in her *very* busy schedule. She spent FOUR HOURS patiently snapping photos of our Maya Papaya, and emailed me a peek of one of the pictures today :) I am SO excited to see what the rest of the pictures look like....
*ack*!! Look at all that dark hair falling down onto her little shoulders already! She was super content to hang out in her diaper all day, until we tried to get nekkid-baby-bum shots of her and she peed all over Sarah's nice while fuzzy blanket. **naughty naughty**
Over the past week she has enjoyed her first bath, had lots of visitors, and made a few trips out in the car with he mama. We made a pit-stop at the pediatrician's office to check out her "white tongue", which so far seems to be just a white tongue (and not thrush). Just for kicks, Dr. Lowe popped her on the scale and checked her weight... and this chubby little thing is already tipping the scales at 8 lbs. 7 oz. Way to go. Maya!! Looks like I might get my chubby-portuguese-baby after all ;)
I would love to share more, but the sweet girl is making squeaky noises into her monitor and must be rescued from her cradle before she get too angry.
Thanks for checking in with us!! :)
SO amazing what a beautiful shot!! Hope you will share the rest too!
