Things have been a little crazy in our household lately and I have been meaning to post more of the beautiful photos we had taken with Aileen from Baby Dream Photography. We are thankful for her help in capturing the beginning to the story of our sweet little Janie Caroline. I am so glad we had these taken when we did, because she has changed so much already. And so have I, by the way...

Our lil' Gem is 7 weeks old!!




Grandma Elaine's 10th Great Grandchild

On Sunday, we made our first trip to visit Grandma Elaine since Janie was born. Grandma & Grandpa Stevens met us in Auburn as well. Grandma Elaine's decline is consistent and while she was sleeping soundly when we first arrived, once she was awake she was absolutely delighted to cuddle a baby. Although she asked the same questions ("Now, how old is this baby?") and made the same comments ("Wow, look at those big hands!") about Janie several times, her maternal instincts with infant care were still sharp. It was nice to see Grandma this way!

Janie was sharing so many smiles that afternoon and we were all eating 'em up!

Our attempt at a 4 generation photo - although Grandma isn't looking at the camera, this is the best one we got. We'll have to try again at our next visit.

*Clara and Janie have their Seahawks dresses from Auntie Michele on. Too bad their support appeared to be conversely correlated to the outcome of the game that day.

6 weeks old!


Janie Caroline

Janie is 6 weeks old and such a sweetie! Our lil' Gem is still a wonderful sleeper and eater and loves to be snuggled. She seems to be a happy little gal, especially after eating when she shares lots of sweet smiles which warm our hearts. As we go through the different milestones with Janie, it is hard not to want to compare her with Big Sister Clara at the same age. When I put Janie in this sweet little outfit that Grandma Carol bought for Clara, we saw it fitting to take a picture and compare it to the one we have of Clara in the same outfit at six weeks old. At times Janie really resembles Clara, especially in some of her expressions, yet other times they look so different. Sometimes Janie's hair looks really red and her eyes are still really blue!!

It is crazy to think that over two and a half years have gone by since this photo was taken of Scout. We sure wish that we had purchased our current camera sooner because there is definitely a difference in quality from our old one.

Janie meets Jackson


This week we had a fun visit from little Jackson (2 weeks) with his Mama and Grandma. He is such an adorable little baby! Janie seemed pretty interested in this younger guy, and since his parents, Peter and Christina, are pretty great friends, her Mommy and Daddy would surely approve. It will be fun to watch these little sweeties grow up together.
