Cheers everyone. Had to leave them at the hospital due to mum’s blood [ressure being a touch high (nothing too serious I’m led to believe). Hoping I can get them home tomorrow. ---

I especially liked #39 — that “haven’t I seen you before somewhere before?” look. (Yes, I know newborns are extremely nearsighted. Still, it reminds me of the first time my older daughter’s eyes stopped wandering and locked onto mine. She couldn’t have known who I was, but there was a connection that I’ll always remember.) Anyway, indeed a beautiful baby. And concur on the hair. ---
