Baby Love

I’m skipping the Wednesday Hodgepodge this week, so I can tell you all about my visit with Mandy and Savannah Rose. It’s amazing how a baby changes so quickly. She is almost two weeks old and already she is more alert and interested in things around her.

I arrived early, as Mandy told me her best time of day was mid morning. She was wide awake, looking all around, and checking out the world.

Her eyes are a very light blue and her hair is auburn color, with beautiful highlights. I’m hoping for the blue eyes. Her Daddy has them and I think like her Daddy she would be so pretty with sparkling blue eyes!

I spent time taking pictures so Mandy could shower and dress. Did I mind? No way! What a thrill to have my granddaughter to cuddle and take pictures of!

Mandy took this picture of Savannah and me. I love it. At that moment it felt so right holding her tiny body!

We decided to go have lunch at Mandy’s favorite restaurant, as it was a really warm, sunny day. We dressed Savannah up in a dress that I’d worn as a baby! It was a little big on her, but she didn’t seem to mind!

I had trouble figuring out the car seat. Those buckles are amazingly difficult to open!

Mandy gave her a bottle as we sat at the restaurant. What a perfect day.

After her bottle I noticed her lips held the last drops of milk from her bottle.

And lastly, lest any of us forget, the tiny feet of this sweet baby. So small, so perfect!

It was a wonderful day and I really enjoyed sharing the time with Mandy. You see, she is a mother now, and I think that in some ways we can understand each other in ways we didn’t before.

I love you, Mandy & Savannah!!!
