Gemma, one week old
Almost 2 weeks old.
Deja vu, eh? I know it looks just like the picture above, but it is what she looks like a lot...and it is so cute. Those pictures were taken on different days and she is wearing different outfits to prove it. Early on she slept quite a bit, but lately she has been spending a more time awake looking around. I'll try to get a shot of her with her eyes open one of these days.
Marlow and her little sister...
Oh, here we have one of Gemma with her eyes open.
When the drywall for the house was delivered two years ago, the truck parked on our front brick sidewalk and left a dip in it....it has always bothered me. So for Mother's Day Joseph and the boys pulled the bricks up (shortly after the boys ran down the street to play with a friend) and Joseph leveled it up and replaced the bricks so we have a nice flat walkway now.
The girls relaxed on the porch while the boys worked on the walkway.
The big kids playing with their new water baseball game. Some thoughtful friends brought it for them when they brought a baby gift for Gemma.
Eliot has seemed a lot bigger lately. He is still super sweet and loves all his siblings tons....he loves to point to Gemma and say, "Baby." He can say everyone's name except for hers, but he'll get it soon.
Marlow playing in the pool.
And finally a parting shot of Gemma and one of her many cousins... I think we are up to nine cousins now, of which five have been born in the past year. Lots of buddies to play with: Max, Ian, Gage, Calliope and Maddie (Plus their older siblings: Mason, Moriah, Zoe and Jack).
Calliope at three months old and Gemma at two weeks old. It seems like a big difference now but in a year they'll be running around together.
