2 Weeks Old

Janie turned 2 weeks old today! She’s gotten longer, heavier, and even cuter!  She’s been napping for longer stretches and eating like a champ, which probably means she’s in the middle of a growth spurt.

I took some photos of her up-close today to record this day.  Happy Two Weeks, Baby Girl!

Kumquat

At 10 weeks gestation, Janie was just the size of a kumquat.  When we read this, the name kind of stuck as her nickname for the rest of the pregnancy.  To this day, we still call her Kumquat sometimes…especially when she’s being a little sneaky or fussy.

So, now at 2 weeks of age, I thought it would be nice to take some portraits of her with an actual kumquat.

This photo looks a little awkward but she didn’t really like holding the kumquat in her hand.  It seemed like she was about to chuck it back to me at any second.

Baby Skin

Janie didn’t make things very easy for me during the delivery.  She thought it would be a good idea to have her hand up against her face as she came out of the womb.  Here’s a close-up of her face just hours after her birth.  She had a little bruise on her right cheek from where her hand was stuck.  Luckily, baby skin heals quickly.

Here’s another photo of her just a couple hours later.  It’s gone!  Amazing!
