Our New Little Angel

I made it to Ohio on Monday afternoon. When Scott and I got to their house, Lonica and Amelia were trying to take a nap but once we arrived that was all over. Here I am with the cutest little baby I have seen since I had my own babies.
Amelia slept really well through the first night home, only waking up once. The next morning she ate and then promptly went back to sleep and we all thought we needed to have a photo shoot because she was just too adorable!! Here is one of the darling poses Scott got.

Here is the shot I got of the the proud parents trying to get the perfect shot.

Later in the morning Lonica and I gave Amelia her first bath. We started out using this bath thing Lonica had been given but it didn't last too long. We ended up just using some towels on the table and they worked much better until someone decided to pee.
While she didn't like the bath, she loved getting her hair washed and having warm water run over her head - a true sign of a girl. She definitely wasn't happy when we finished even if there was crown on her towel for her to pretend to be a princess. I guess that will come later.Right now it is hard being 3 days old!!
She was great all day long and really takes after her mom in the sleeping department. You can't wish for more than that from a newborn. We just hope it keeps up.
Lonica felt great all day and at times I wondered if she even needed me here. The nursing has been a bit challenging but hopefully that will all work itself out.

What a cutie pie! I'm sure that Lonica is so excited for you to be there. Even if she is miss independent;) I hope for Lonica's sake as well that she stays sleeping:)

Too darling!! You look like the happiest grandma ever! I'm impressed with Lonica giving a bath so soon - I had my mother in law do it- I was too scared with D all little and slippery. The bath thing will come in handy when she's larger but not sitting up. I loved mine.

Thanks for posting these and keeping us int he loop!
