She came out just as curled up as she was in the womb, just like she was in every ultrasound picture. She was just a little ball for a long time but she is now stretching out constantly.
I had no idea she would so small. For some reason I really thought I was going to give birth to a 10 pound chunk, but she is teeny tiny. Her low weight was 6 lb 6 oz.
She makes so many faces. She'll make a horrible face like she is about to start screaming, but she doesn't and I think she is just practicing her expressions.
You always hear, "they grow so fast!" I don't know if this is true because I see her all the time, but she undoubtedly gets smarter every day. I cannot get over it. She is so alert now and loves to play, although not for long.
I am nominating Chris for best husband and Anne for best baby. I slept from 10:30 - 2:45 last night!
I heard that the burning question after birth (replacing is it a boy or a girl?) is, what color are her eyes? Right now they are dark blue. Stay tuned as they change the first year.
Her hair is also a mysteriously unknown color. It is brown, but sometimes seems blonde and sometimes a little red. So we will see. She gets a lot of compliments on the amount of hair she has. It is a cute amount on top, but the back is a complete mullet that may or may not be slightly curly! Her eyelashes are very light (she will hate them later and wish for long, dark ones, I'm sure).
The other common question is, who does she look like? She changes every day so it is hard to tell. She certainly has Chris features (e.g. her mouth and her cowlick) but her cheeks are all Harper and growing every day.
Our attempt at an artsy pic:
In her cosleeper looking tiny (she loves to sleep on her side like her mom):
She adores being outside (and in her dad's arms):
