Difference in Size and other things

Hello Kurt!  

One thing you experience as you have a new baby is the immediate contrast of how BIG your previous child is compared to your new tiny one.

Now, I know the perspective of this shot is skewed, but look how little she is here!  It could be easily argued that our babies are never actually little, and goes without saying that they don't stay that way, but even a near-nine-pound baby is miniature compared to a near-thirty pound toddler.  

Here's Lily Eilonwy just after her first bath.  Ty always gets to give our babies their first bath and loves slathering them up with lotion afterward.  Another thing about our babies is that they are strikingly ruddy in color for the first couple of weeks, after which they pale to regular skin color.  

This time she wasn't the least bit jaundiced, and I think it was because we passed on the Vitamin K shot.  In the past, our kids have had a couple days of yellowing beneath their redness, but not this time.  I was glad.  There's only so much time you can sit them in the sun, wearing just a diaper.  Babies don't like that much.
