Introducing the lovely, the precious, the doll... McKenna Mae Luke!

She's here!  Finally!  On October 2nd, 2012 we welcomed with loving arms a beautiful baby girl, McKenna Mae Luke.  She weighed in at 7 lbs. 9 oz. and was 21 inches long.  We just love her so much and are enjoying our time with her, it is for never enough time spent, and we can't seem to get anything done around here because we'd much rather be staring at those baby blues and that beautiful red hair.

Time flies because McKenna is almost two weeks old already!  She will be two weeks old tomorrow, and we go see the Dr. for her two week follow up, and the lovely PKU.  She is already too big for her britches, holding her head up way too much, smily (we claim that we can also see the hint or start of dimples in her cheeks - we're hoping! since both mom and dad have dimples!)  She changes so much almost daily and is really so much fun!  I tried to take newborn pictures of her today, and was sucessful, however she didn't want to go to sleep for any of them so there are a few different poses I'll have to try later if I can get her to sleep for some... this little one is for sure not one of those sleep newborns - she wants to be awake and not miss a thing during the day!

We are both really enjoying being parents, Daniel is so helpful and encouraging with everything - it is so cute to see him interact with his "little princess".  We are so blessed to have this little one in our lives and thank the Lord every day for the opportunity He gave us and the sweet little one He entrusted to us.

Pictures galore below, but she is just so cute!  I can't help it!  Enjoy!

Sitting pretty in her swing

This is how she likes to sleep, hands up and out.

Wide awake after eating early in the morning, loves to play with that tongue!

She is a contortionist! Wiggly!  9 days old

Daddy's Princess sleeper, it is rather fitting for her

Sunday naptime all spread out in the bassinet, 12 days old

Sample newborn pic, just off of my phone, all she wanted to do was look at the camera, it was so fun snapping pictures of her!  Love this sweet little girl to pieces!  13 Days old here.
