It’s hard to believe that our sweet little Dessa is already nine weeks old. Nine weeks! Oh my word, how on earth did the time pass by so quickly? Our two month well-visit at the pediatrician is later today and I am equally excited and sad to find out how much our baby girl weighs. On the one hand, I love how alert she has become and her sweet little baby coos melt my mama heart. But then I think about how tiny Dessa was when we first met her and a piece of me feels a little heartbroken that she will never be that tiny again. This mom stuff can be so bittersweet!
Rob and I had newborn photos taken of Dessa a few weeks after she was born and today feels like the perfect time to share photos of our no-longer-a-newborn baby girl.

Happy nine weeks to my darling girl! I love your tiny fingers, your sweet smile, the funny old man face that you make when you are upset, and your precious little soul.
Thank you so much to Lynsey from LynseyLou Photography for capturing such beautiful images of our sweet girl. I will treasure these photos forever.
My favorite is the one where Maria and Dessa are looking at each other, the one with the changing table in the background. It really captures that nothing-else-matters feeling with the mama/baby bond. So sweet! I hope you are all adjusting well, it sounds like Dessa is thriving!
Maria, Rob & Dessa, You all look like the “Best Family’ ever and soooo happy. Thank you for sharing all of the Beautiful pictures. I enjoyed them so much!
Thanks for sharing! You are right: everything about motherhood is bittersweet! Dessa is adorable, and the love you and Rob have for her is beautiful. 💗
Such Beautiful pictures. I just Love the last Photo of Dessa by herself (like she is just thinking: what a wonderful Life I have). Thanks much for sharing.
Maria, what a lovely family… a fairy tale ❤️ Thanks for all you do for your followers, you are so generous. We love you! My favorite color would be metallic rust… perfect fall color!!!
