baby photo shoot

i just... couldn't... help myself. a sunny day, a new hair bow, and big, bright eyes. we had fun this afternoon.

Emigre doesn't waste any opportunities to smell as much of Ruby as she can get to. I think Ruby is suspicious of her.




and, i just thought that this was funny.

All three of us are doing great. We got home from the hospital yesterday afternoon, and though we were sort of nervous to leave the hospital (where everyone has answers) to go home (where we're just 2 newbie parents with this precious baby they somehow let us take home from the hospital)... but once we got home, got showered and sort-of settled... we were incredibly glad to be here. So, we're slowly getting used to the new schedule with eating, sleeping, and the strange excitement that comes with a poopy diaper. (we can hardly believe that we feel that way, hah!)

Emigre is doing well, rather needy right now, but being a good dog. She is MUCH more cuddly than she normally wants to be, so we think she's just trying to make sure she's still the top dog. And, while that's true... our definition of "dog" is just more realistic.. hah ha. sorry pooch.
