Some of you may have seen these images on Facebook a while back. My cousin, Christine, and her husband, Chris, welcomed their baby girl back in November. I spent a day basking in her newborn sweetness about 2 weeks after she was born. What a perfect baby! I guess there’s no such thing as an imperfect baby–but she was just so calm and beautiful and serene. Amazing. Christine and Chris are naturals when it comes to parenting and whenever Baby Catherine gave a little squeak they knew just what to do–and just like that she was happy again!
I have way too many favorites to choose so here goes:

The next bunch are some of my favorites. Christine and Chris were using tips they learned from the book “The Happiest Baby on the Block” to keep Baby Catherine happy. She loves being swaddled and “shhhh-ed” to. I’m tellin’ ya–it worked like a charm! Look at that face!

Okay--so it's not all serenity--but she settles down very quickly! 😉

Love the emotion in the shots above of Chris holding her tiny fingers. So sweet…

Chris and Chris–what can I say? I am so beyond happy for you guys! Catherine Isabella is the most wonderful gift in the world. I can’t wait to watch her grow up and continue to amaze and delight you. xoxo
