Photoshoots with Grammy

After our failed attempt to get professional photos in the hospital, I did not feel like going through the stress of booking newborn photos and hoping that everything would fall into place with the right timing, and hoping that Dottie would cooperate. 

Instead, Mom and I did a few of our own together and got a bunch of great pics of the little lady!

Mom made both Dottie's hat and blanket in these

And, she's officially done!

Beginning of September

Labor Day Weekend

Pictures from Dottie's second week, and Labor Day weekend:

Always sleeping!

Sweet sisters 

Fun swimming at Grammy and Grampy's house 

Ella and Dottie's feet! 

With James and Ricky at James' birthday party

She made it all the way to the top of the rock wall 

Sweet Dottie with her eyes open

More fun with Grammy and Grampy 

Dottie's first real bath - as expected, she hated it :) 

So sweet on a beautiful blanket made by Grammy 

With Ella playing babies - she loves playing babies and this time we had to take care of all 3 at once!

The rest of Dottie's first week

More pictures from the rest of Dottie's first week --

She's adorable even when she's crying!

Had to take a selfie to see her cute face fast asleep!

Precious sleeping baby - and look at those teeny arms and legs

Sleeping on Grammy

She hardly ever opened her eyes that first week - and when she did open them, she kept them almost closed so she could quickly shut them as soon as she was done looking around

Ella happy to see her baby sister after school

One week old!
