Two Months Old

This dress was a little too big for her, but still looked so cute I had to take a picture for her 2 month birthday before I changed her...

Eight Weeks

Sleeping away without a care in the world...

Seven Weeks

Not sure if you can see the logo on her onesie...I guess she's going to be a Yankees fan.

Six weeks old

Here's one of her first real smiles.  It's hard to get on camera because as soon as I pick one up, she gets very serious.  But the little Monkey is definitely smiling and laughing a lot these days.

Clothes

So many people gave us such cute clothes, it's a shame she will really only get to wear them once or twice before growing out of them.  Here's one of my favorite outfits she's received.

Five weeks

Our little Monkey watching TV with the old man.  She's already gotten control of the remote...

Four Weeks Old

First day at the beach

We attempted to take the Monkey to the shore one early morning.  Our stroller broke as soon as we got there, so we had to just haul her around in her car seat.  Because they are still rebuilding the part of the shore that we go to, there weren't even any benches we could sit on.  So we just rested her on jungle gym platform and ate our Dunkin Donuts while she slept away.

Three Weeks Old

We'll have to get some pictures of her out of her carseat, but it's much easier to get her still enough for a photo while she's asleep.

I finally got a photo with her completely eyes open.  She seems pretty alert in this one anyway. Outfit and blanket courtesy of Grandma S again!

Almost 2 weeks

Here she is one day shy of two weeks old.  I have a pic from exactly 2 weeks, but I love the way she is resting her chin on her little fist in this one.  Like "The Thinker" sculpture :).  The blanket underneath her is courtesy of Grandma S again.  Blanket covering her is one of the ones she used in the hospital.

One week old.

Here's the little Monkey at one week old...not a huge difference from her one day old picture. No bandages or tubes though, so we loved that! One of the few pics we have with her eyes open at this point.  Cute blanket and outfit are courtesy of Grandma S. Cute little toy that she loves is courtesy of her aunt Val.

One day old

Our Monkey - One day old

Welcome to the Baldassano blog.  This is mostly for our families, so it will mostly be pics of our family and mostly it will be our cute little Monkey who was born just over a month ago.  She's pretty mellow right now, i.e., we have no funny stories yet to tell, so there will mostly be pictures and videos of her just being cute.  We might mix it up and put a picture of our dog in there sometimes, but he doesn't do much more than our little Monkey right now because he's a grumpy old dog.




Here's the little Monkey at just one day old.  When she was born, she was taken directly to the NICU because she wasn't breathing when she was first delivered.  But she's nice and healthy now...this is a photo of when we could first hold her without the tubes she was connected to.  We were only able to hold her for a short time though, since she needed to be put back on her monitors and such.  In this photo, she looks so tiny next to Chris's fingers!
