Alice Through the Weeks

This girl will never be able to say that she was the neglected third child who never had any baby pictures. (In fact it's possible I have more newborn pics of her than any of the other kids due to having a camera phone.)

Alice Mae through the weeks...

 

Last Days of Preschool

On May 22nd, little Ms. Eleanor had her last day of 2s preschool and not so little anymore Ms. Sophia graduated from preschool (4s program).

Alice Mae

 

 From the second she was born for at least 30 or more minutes, I just held her directly on me and fed her. They didn't weigh her or bathe her or take her anywhere. I just got to hold her. They finally did take her measurements but then gave her right back. I would guess that at least the first 2 hours of her life she was directly on me (minus a few minutes).

 

 

Precious perfect tiny babe

I think she and Eleanor have the same nose (I'll have to find an Eleanor pic to compare with).

 

Love those little long fingers

 

I had a great time at the hospital- just resting and feeding and staring at my new baby

 

Time to put on real clothes and go home

 

Alice gets her turn wearing the outfit each girl has worn home from the hospital.

Due to rampant illness through our house, this was the first time the girls got to hold Alice (other than their quick trip to the hospital the day she was born). Alice was one week old.

I love that you can see how excited both Sophia and Eleanor are to get to hold their little sister.

 

Our three little ladies- Eleanor (2 1/2 years), Alice (1 week), Sophia (5 1/4 years)

 

I know Alice is mine because just like my other two, she was trying to raise her head and look around from the day she was born. 

 

Welcome to our family little Alice. You are so loved.
