What a beautiful little girl. Guard your heart well Mulli, she will have you wrapped around her little finger very soon. Somehow I think my warning is already too late.

That smile is so beautiful, thanks for sharing.

A smile so pretty can only mean one thing: she is plotting world domination.  
Or at least Father Domination.

That’s weird, I know I put the sig on. Heck, I’ll super triple check it with this post. I have about 300 more pics (not a bad rate for the first 3 weeks of life).

She is very pretty, and I think I can say that without the bias of fatherhood. Labor was four hours, true delivery was 4 pushes, so she came out with a round head and non-squished up face.

I am already doing two things to prepare for the future:

1. Building a cabinet to hold the recruiting letters from college basketball programs that will soon be pouring in.
2. Practicing my most menacing poses for teenage boys. My size will be used to her advantage.
