Hello there, teddy-talkers! I haven't been around since before the baby was born. That's been quite a while, I've really missed it! Anyway, I wanted to post some pics of the baby. She was born March 23rd, weighing in at 6lbs, 9oz. (Thank goodness! I was really afraid she was gonna be a lot bigger!) We named her Claudia Josephine.

Here she is at 11 days old.

Here she is at 3 1/2 weeks. I took this photo at home after a disastrous trip to the photographer. I really wanted a photo like this so I bought new white towels and made the pink bow and took it the portrait studio. Let me just say that the white towels are no longer white! She pooped all over the place before we got a single shot! She even pooped all over the white background fabric they were using. A little embarrassing!

And these two were taken on Mother's Day. She's almost 2 months here. My older daughter, Natalia, adores her little sister.

Beautiful girls, Sandi. The first picture looks like a little baby doll. Just precious. And I love the nudie on the towels. They're all wonderful.

You'll embarrass her no end when you start relating the poopie story when she's a teenager.

bear_wub Awwwhhh...congratulations on your newest addition  :bday:   

Yep, first thing I thought about when you related the 'towel' story was that she'll never live that one down as a teen or young adult  bear_whistle  :crackup:

Cheryl- My fiance's great-grandmother was named Jozefina, but I actually forgot about that when I came up with Josephine. Nevertheless, it made his mother very happy that I had used her mom's name.

Heather- Belated congratulations! When are you due? Do you know the gender?

And yes, I'm sure she'll hear the poopie story a few times more than she'd like! And I'll use many more details!

Oh what beautiful little girls you have Sandi, so pretty.  bear_wub  I bet you are so proud of them both. Their little dresses are really cute and so nice to be able to dress them alike for Mother's day. Great to see you have a traditional baby pram, I love to see a baby laying comfortably in one of these. Some of the more modern style prams have the baby all squashed up and often I see them with their little heads flopped to one side whilst they sleep. So nice to see your little sweetheart can lay comfortably.  bear_flower  bear_flower  bear_flower

Hugs Jane.  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
