Time is already flying! Bailey is now 1 week old. This first week has been amazing and I love every minute of getting to know my baby girl. She's a great baby, she sleeps so well only waking 2 or 3 times to eat and then right back to sleep. She is a great nurser and we haven't had any problems with breastfeeding, I give her credit because I sure as heck didn't know what I was doing but she took to it like a champ.
My all-time favorite thing is watching Bailey react to her dad's voice. She was fussy all yesterday afternoon and when Micah got home from work it took all of about 2 minutes of him holding and talking to her and she was quiet. He reads to her and she just lays there wide awake listening. Her outfit in these pictures says it best. She is her Daddy's princess.
Yesterday we had a photo shoot with a local newborn photographer. The photographer is amazing and I'm so fortunate that she offers her services for such a reasonable fee. The quality is that of something we probably wouldn't normally be able to afford. She was awesome with Bailey, 2 1/2 hrs of posing and shooting and Bailey never really made a peep. Watching her actually taught me a little bit about taking care of babies. She had this calm energy that the babies just pick up on. It won't take long to get the pictures and I can't wait to share them!
Bailey heard the dogs barking the whole time I was pregnant and it worked because now she can be asleep or nearly asleep and they start barking like crazy and she barely even stirs. It's great!
Bailey also got her first bath this week. Her least favorite thing in the world is to be naked, so the bath was not exactly her idea of a fun time. Micah was a champ though and powered through all of her screaming.
