Lydia loves to sleep. Sometimes we stop and check to see if she is still breathing, because she’ll not move for hours. I’m still expecting her to come out of her post-delivery coma and not want to sleep anymore, so I am trying to soak up every moment of holding a snugly sleeping baby that I can:
Sometimes when she’s sleeping, Lydia makes the funniest faces. I call this one ‘Daddy, I want a pony!’
Another cute thing Lydia does is sleep with one arm up by her face. It looks like she’s striking a pose, doesn’t it?
Of course, we all enjoy the moments when Lydia is actually awake. Today Alethea got to ‘hold’ her sister again and later she was very sweet and gave Lydia a hug, car seat and all.
Today at church, everyone said Lydia looks so much like Alethea. They certainly have the same mouth, but I think they look very different from each other.
What do you think?
Their nose and mouth are similar. With Lydia’s eyes closed, it’s easier to think they look a lot alike (like in the second picture, I think she looks JUST like Alethea does now). However, once she pops her eyes open, they look very different (to me). The shape of their eyes is different and maybe their eyebrows?
They are both beautiful little girls so it’s hard to see a difference. I’m so glad we got to meet her yesterday!
I think they are different. Lydia seems to favor you. They are both really cute.
“do they have any pictures of Aleth? Or Did they replace all of them with pictures of the new baby?”- Deacon
Deacon’s mom wonders if there is some latent firstborn jealousy going on with that statement…
Deacon – we’ll put up more pictures of ‘Aleth’ just as soon as she decides to stand still and let me take her picture. For some reason she takes it as a personal insult if you ask her to smile for the camera.
There are angles where I think she looks like Roman’s baby picutures (1 and 4), and others where she doesn’t. There are some where she looks a lot like Alethea, but not so much these, more then ones on the FB. I do thik Elise, with the small sample set I’ve seen so far, she looks more like you than A did.
Congrats.
YOu get my phone message?
I think she looks different…and more like you, Elise. But time will tell. She looks like a beautiful, healthy, happy baby! Congratulations!
I think Lydia looks more like you, but Frank and I think she looks like Great Grandpa Jim in the bottom picture.
Thank you, Trish! I was trying to figure out where I’d seen that expression before. You and Frank nailed it… it’s Grandpa Jim!
Noah, a.k.a. ‘The brother’ – I left you a message on your home phone this morning.
