I’m sure you all will forgive my internet silence. I’m still adjusting to “baby time” where time seems to fly by and everything takes five times longer to do than it did before. I just wanted to thank you for all your kind words welcoming Alice to the world, and to give her a proper introduction.

In her first week of life she has been the most perfect baby imaginable. She hardly cries, and when she does it’s nothing that feeding her can’t fix (she’s an enthusiastic eater). She’s very healthy, has great color and was four ounces up from her birth weight at her 2/15 checkup. Before I fill this blog with motherly gushing, I’ll just leave you with photos instead. I’ve given emphasis to photos where Alice is modeling something handmade.
