five days old

A dear friend of mine recently had her fourth, that's right, fourth! baby, and I couldn't resist the urge to get over there to get a snuggle and snap a few pictures. And this sweet little girl was just a perfect little subject and just as adorable as her three bigger siblings.

At only five days old she still had her umbilical cord attached, which I love. It's so symbolic to me, it shows this connection, and emphasizes the newness. *sigh* how I love newness! I always felt a little emotional when my babies' dried, stinky umbilical cords fell off :o) Is that odd?




I also love how big the soother looks on a little newborn face. How beautiful is this baby?!






Congratulations again, you are my new hero, and I wish I were as brave as you, to have a fourth! I always love spending time with you, so I'm glad she gave me the excuse!
