We were looking back on the photos we took of Mio when she as a newborn, and came upon the sad realization that we aren’t taking nearly as many photos of Mirei as we did with Mio. Life is a little more chaotic with two and it’s sometimes hard to remember to pause and snap photos, but we’re trying to make more of a conscious effort to take photos of Mirei too, as her newborn days are flying by! Hence this post is going to end up being sort of a photo/video dump… don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

Mirei in March
I end up taking most of my pictures of Mirei at night, once Mio has gone to sleep and I have some one-on-one cuddling  time with her.

She looks unhappy that we took her out of our bed and into her bassinet.

 

Awake in Mama's arms
Getting chubbier by the day!

Mirei makes a lot of funny noises while she sleeps, since the day she was born! Here’s a video I took of her on her first night after birth, back at the hospital:


 

Here’s a video that Dan took a couple evenings ago when she was asleep in her bouncer.


 

More of the same wheezing, cooing, and grunting …


 

…and this is her waking up (on another night)
