Sasha and her varied facial expressions...

This last month has brought so many changes and fun moments (as well as a few challenging ones). Sasha is almost 5 weeks old and has been growing like crazy and eating like a champ. Now we're just working on helping her to sleep like a champ. :) She is a very alert and active baby, who is constantly taking in her surroundings. She has so many funny expressions that Aaron and I love so we've captured a few of them. I'm still trying to capture her elusive "poop stare" because it is my absolute favorite.

Sasha loves her hands and always manages to have them up by her face. This photo was taken on my birthday on September 15, two weeks after her birth.

No collage of photos would be complete without a good crying photo. I'm laughing because she went from happy to crying in 2 seconds and then back to being okay in another 2 seconds.

Aaron had the flu/cold so he was extra cautious not to give it to Sasha by wearing the attractive mask below. We think it confused Sasha to hear her dad's voice, but see a big white thing on his face; thus, the confused look on her face.

This is Sasha's crusty look saying 'don't mess with me right now.' Hilarious!

Drunk on milk...need I say more?

Another classic drunk on milk look.
The following photos are from bathtime, which Sasha is enjoying more and more. Notice her various facial expressions - priceless!



Aaron and I want to again say a big thank you to all of you who have supported us. We have our challenges, but I'm sure every new parent experiences their own set of challenges. We are so grateful for the increase in love for each other and Sasha in our home. It is exciting to see Sasha develop in so many ways as she changes on a daily basis. She's holding up her head pretty well (and has done so for the last 1 1/2 weeks), especially when we try to lay her head on our shoulder for burping. If she's not done eating, she'll lift her head up and turn her face toward ours to let us know that she's still hungry - what an amazing little girl. She's definitely got some spunk in her personality and we love her!

Awww, she's a doll. I am sure that she gets her good looks from her uber hot Aunt Alyssa. ;) I wish I were there to play with her. Keep us all updated. Love you three.

I don't even need to see a picture of the poop stare to know exactly what it looks like. Rocky does it too.

Oh Becky, I love those faces. Newborns are SOOO precious. I'm tearing up thinking about it. How are YOU mom? Those first couple months can be quite taxing. No doubt you're doing wonderfully though. We're proud of you! She's beautiful, I can't decide who she looks like yet!
