One Week Old Today

My niece is.

No doubt I’ll blink and we’ll be celebrating her 1st birthday.

Anyway, here are some pics as promised.

I finally remembered I had stashed the camera in the glove box of the car.

Lightening's Niece

One of the advantages of having kids first is that they then get the benefit of younger cousins.  Mind you, I think Lleyton would rather have a cousin his own age but you can’t have everything.

I love watching my kids hold a baby.

Singstar Princess with her new cousin

Trailer Boy with his new cousin

She certainly makes my kids seem very grown up.

There’s someone else I love to watch holding a baby too:

Farmboy with his new niece

There was a time when he wouldn’t hold a baby until they were about a year old.  He’s much more confident and relaxed around them now.  He probably doesn’t look it in the photo because she was starting to fuss and he’s actually moving her to settle her.

Clucky?

Me?

*sigh*

I can’t seem to convince Farmboy that we should have another.  It probably doesn’t help that I had a dream recently that we had twins -  a male and a female.

Personally, I think now would be a great time to have twins.  Look at all the helpers I’d have!

Him?  Not so much.

Guess I’ll have to be satisfied with the kind you can hand back.

    Oh, she’s beautiful! And love the pictures of your family having a cuddle too.

    It’s hard to tell yourself ‘no more babies’. I’d love to go back for #4, but it’ll involve so much change I don’t think we’d survive!

    I often wished I’d gone one more….I think I’d be a much calmer parent now. Especially now that I know how easy babies are compared to teenagers! But the down side is that they will grow up. Just like puppies and kittens. Sigh.

    My friend and her hubby had their first baby two weeks ago, and she is so little and adorable! Watching Phill holding her made me really clucky in a strange way, I didn’t expect it! They grow up so quickly. One day I’ll have one of my own. That’s the plan, anyway. :)

    She’s so beautiful and your kids look so proud holding her. I do still love newborns, but I gave up “clucky” quite some time ago.

    I got to hold a newborn on Wednesday - they do make you clucky…
