Here's Lily with my dad (her grandpa)

Think he's much proud/in love with her? Gives me flashbacks to when I first held each of my grandchildren.

Well, it's still kinda awkward for dad because my sister isn't married to the baby daddy yet (and said baby daddy is the biggest idiot this side of the border!) but he loves the baby. It's not the way he planned to be a grandpa, but he'll be a good one nonetheless!

I'm telling you, that kid is WAY cuter than Lillian was. I love my daughter, but she looked like a tiny elf when she was born.

EM!

 

[EmtheFishLady]

What?

 

[Wisher1000]

But....

you don't.......

what if........

you're........




Oh, nevermind...

Hey, there's no smarter and cuter kid than mine NOW...and I've always thought she was the most gorgeous child....but I'm a realist...and Tani's niece is cuter at birth than my Lily was. My Lily was covered in some kind of white crud when she was born...

Tani's niece is far cuter than my daughter was at birth. The Princess didn't even get upset when I said, "She looks like a little monkey." She did - lots of dark hair all over her face. She grew into a beautiful woman - inside and out.

Here's Lily with my dad (her grandpa)

I love the look on his face. "Oh, screw it. MINE!!"

I can't believe you two!


Actually, I had not only wanted a girl, but never entertained the thought that I might have anything else. I was shocked when the ultrasound revealed the truth and was thankful that I decided to find out prior to the birth so that I would have time to "adjust" and not be disappointed at delivery.

That all changed the second I first held my first son. I clearly remember thinking. "Why did I ever want an ol' girl, just look at this precious little boy!"

Then the nurse came in as I was examining his fingers and toes and I said, "Mary Ann, does every new mother think HER baby is the most beautiful baby that was ever born?" She smiled and said "of course." I then said, "Well, they're wrong!..........THIS is the most beautiful baby ever born." Funny, I thought that three times........

The first view I had of my son, all I could see was his feet, and they were BIG. Long, skinny things, outsized even for an 8 1/2 pound baby. Hubby's sisters have always had trouble finding shoes that are narrow enough, so my first though when I saw those flippers: "I know where those came from!"

He was otherwise a cute kid, though he had already started losing his hair and was at that point nearly half bald. The rest of his hair (even his eyelashes) was so silvery blond, you almost didn't see it. He was nearly a year old before he really looked like he had hair.

DD was born with a good crop of seal brown hair, which turned medium blonde fairly quickly. Other than looking like she was growing out a dye job, she never was "follicularly challenged." She was a pretty baby, always smiling. I remember a nurse congratulating me on my beautiful baby, and I said, "they are all beautiful, aren't they?" She laughed. "Mine weren't," she said. "Oh, they got over it, they are fine looking now, but they were both funny looking babies."
