We've have Gwendolyn Rose in our family for a whole week now! In some ways it seems much longer than that for me. I already think Gwen is much changed. The boys are still so gentle with her, about 99% of the time. I hope that doesn't change.
It took me a few days to put her in a dress and I'm completely sold.
Gwendolyn is a great sleeper. For 3 out of her first 5 nights at home she let me sleep for 5 hours! I had to wake her up to feed her and it took me an hour to accomplish it.
Gwen gives some of the biggest newborn smiles I've ever seen. Huge, open mouth, crescent eyes smiles. We've yet to get one on camera but my Mom caught this little one yesterday.
Speaking of Mom, its been SO GREAT to have her. She prepares the meals and special treats and entertains the boys during the day and keeps the house clean and buys the boys fun things. Its like Christmas all week.
Charlie LOVES hats. Chris was wearing this in honor of the British Open and Charlie insisted on wearing one like it. He is so cute.
Gwendolyn's first "bath." She didn't like it. She doesn't seem to like being cold or wet, I can start to imagine the usefulness of those wet wipe warmers I used to make fun of.
The weather has been so nice and warm that
Gweny has gotten lots of outside time.
She just makes the funniest expressions. Chris commented that there really is no filter. She goes from agonized pains to peaceful sleeping in 1 second. Most of her squirmy faces are noiseless. She really doesn't cry a whole lot yet.

She's so cute! I love her tongue.
Oh, she is so cute and so beautiful. Congratulations!!! What a darling family you are.
I like how you say, "she really doesn't cry a whole lot YET." She'll probably get there, but in the meantime she is so adorable in that dress!
I love the pic where she's covering her face with hands. So funny!
Congrats on your new baby girl! She is beautiful, just like your boys.
Awwww, thanks for more pictures!! She is SO precious. So glad up have gotten some solid sleep! SO glad mom could be there all week to provide angelic help. Love to you and the boys!!
