Baby Love ~~~

Our precious little Karington Elizabeth (Keri Beth) is just over 3 weeks old.
I just returned from a visit to see her today~~~



She weighs almost 9 pounds now and is a cuddly, snugly, bundle of baby love. She is sleeping with her little guardian angel doll that was given to her by my dear friend Dorthe.


This precious little angel doll traveled all the way from Denmark to watch over our little grand baby and keep her safe in her little crib. Thank you sweet Dorthe for a gift that has touched our hearts. We are trusting this little guardian angel to watch over our little one while she dreams~~~





Little Keri Beth is sound asleep here - resting on my shoulder. I snapped this picture while she was up against my chest. She is in a serious "milk coma"!


Is there anything sweeter than a sleeping baby?



This gb is in heaven with little Keri on my shoulders! Several people have asked me - "what does gb stand for?" gb stands for granny boster - which I do NOT want to be called. Hence - I will be just gb. Little g - little b. gb. Easy for a little one to say - don't you think?



This is it - mostly what she does all day. Sleep and sleep and sleep. She is a very good baby. Her parents say that she sleeps about 3 hours at a time and does not cry except when she is hungry. What a good little girl!




A rare moment - with her eyes open! Doesn't she have the most adorable little face? She is looking at her gb. She loves me~~~


Belch and then hiccups. Then do it again!


Asleep on gb's shoulder again. Don't you love that little mouth?


Just spending time with our little one today - was so wonderful. Her parents live about an hour and a half away - so I can't go everyday - but I wish I could!
This little one is such a blessing in our lives~~~

There is nothing so wonderful as being a 'grandmother', grandma', 'gramma', 'nanna', 'G-Mom','mimi', or 'granny boster'! Gee~they can melt our heart and call us anything they want, we love them so!
Like I always say ~~ "If I'd known it was this much fun, I'd a had them first!" ;~P
Be Blessed!

What a true gift from God...she is just precious. And you too young to be a grandma, by the way!

Vicki ~ ~ how very precious! She is absolutely beautiful! I know you were in heaven holding her. i wish my grandson could be closer to us; he's almost 17 months, and I haven't seen him walking yet. You are a very blessed gb! (Thanks for the explanation; I had wondered what that meant, too!)

She is so adorable! What a gorgeous little sweetiepie. I am way too old to feel broody, lol, but when I see beautiful photographs like these......... ahem.... nah, I am very happy being a granny to two sweet little girls.

Jules said...

well, of course she loves her gb! And my, what a little cherub - those cheeks - just makes you want to eat her all up (not literally of course!) Looks like you are in heaven and in love - what could be better?

Hi Vicki! She's such a little beauty! I love her name too!...When I had my first son, my mother didn't want anything to do with a Grammy type name, so she decided on Mammy! hee hee hee! They're 23 and 25 now and still call her "Mammy" or "Mam"! ... You're beautiful, and look much more like the mommy than the "gb" ...that's really cute! xo Paulette

SuZeQ said...

Vicki,
KeriBeth is adorable. Sorry i've been so quiet, but I've been soaking in what little dependence Erik is leaving me(26" & 20lbs @ 5 months already). He's bound and determined to stand and scoots all over the place already:). they grow so fast.

Hugs, Jenn

Lili said...

Oh my sweet friend! What a delight she is! I am SO happy for you! And I've been waiting for photo updates! She is SO beautiful!

It's weird,,,,,,,this blog/internet thing, but I held my breath and prayed as you stated you were on the way to her arrival/birth. Of course I don't know your family but I just feel a "gifted" part of this little ones birth,,,,,,as I waited after your post for her arrival!

Again, thank you for sharing her birth, her entry into this world. I feel blessed to be a minute part of it!

Oh,,,,, Vicki dear, give her a hug and a gentle squeeze for me next time you see her!

And,,,,again, I admire your interaction with the other little ones that need YOU so,,,,,and I pray for their health, their growth and strengh.....

Hugs and "love you to pieces~" SO glad to be a little part of your world!

Oh my she is beautiful. I bet she smells wonderful too, nothing like nuzzling into the neck of a sleeping bundle of joy. gb, hmm, I like it. I'm sure you'll be visiting as much as you can as she must be irresistible.

she is precious - and i do love baby mouths... glad you held her while she slept - it is mesmerizing that feeling of one little chest rising and falling against your own...

Sandi said...

Oh Vicki, how blessed you are! She is so beautiful and precious!!
Our oldest son lives 2 hours away and our daughter 3 hours, so I know what you mean. It is hard, but at least they don't live clear on the other side of the country. Enjoy your beautiful little granddaughter!!
Hugs~
PS I think I should have just stayed in bed today!! LOL

Sandi said...

Oh goodness Vicki! I had a long comment typed up and for some reason blogger blew it away!!

Your granddaughter is just beautiful and I know you love her to pieces! Two of my children live hours away also so I know what you mean. Always wonderful when we do get to see them.
Hugs~
PS I agree...I should have stayed in bed today!! LOL
