wednesday - new baby Delilah is born today

The new baby was born at 8.50am this morning, at just over 7 pounds. Will get exact statistics soon!

Tasmin was delighted and enchanted with her little baby cousin...

Isn't she sweet and what a unique name...

She looks just like her Daddy Mike, with the cleft in her tiny chin and fair hair...

She fed really well and just kept wanting to feed.

 I so enjoyed my chance for a cuddle but she cried as soon as I walked away from her mama. When I took her closer, Manda put her hand on the baby's head and she quietened straight away. She really knew her mama's voice. Manda's eyes followed her all around the room as she was taken for cuddles. It was so sweet watching her watching her mama, her little blue eyes scanning her mother's face, and its every little detail.
On the way home there was a little sun shower and we saw a rainbow. Delilah's rainbow.

So sweet and lovely that she knows Manda as her Mama and wanting to be close to her and instantly recognised her touch. I think in the second photo from the bottom - the one above her feeding she looks like Manda

I was just thinking the same, that she looks like Manda
