Casper — first week

Casper is now a bit over 2 weeks old and doing great! Here are a few photos of his first week… I hope I’m not boring you with photos of my little man!

Six minutes old! Casper was born on Sunday, October 14th 2012, at 6.35PM. And how amazing it was to meet my baby boy, in each and every way perfect…

We were allowed to go home that same night! The next morning Ava met her little brother. Mama and Ava each with a baby!

Second day: Pim with Casper — such a proud big brother!

Three days old, and exploring the world

Casper weighed 3185 grams at birth, and by the end of week 1 he had gained 300 grams!

Four days old, and proudly showing off mama’s hand knit outfit

Constantly looking for a finger to suck on… We gave him a dummy after a few days!

Playtime!

One week old! A lazy Sunday morning, and a very proud and caring big sister.

Congratulations Esther! Casper is gorgeous, I think it’s safe to say it’s great to see photos of such a happy and healthy (and cute!) little man are welcome any time on this blog :)

Ps. Casper’s little hand knit coveralls are great, you’re right to be proud of them! Where did you get the pattern if I may ask?

Thank you Elise!!
The pattern of the overalls is from Citronille, it’s called La Salopette. http://www.citronille.fr/produit.php?id_produit=340#pid_340 (the pattern is in French). xxx

Congratulations Esther! He is such a cute little baby and it seems that his three older siblings are very proud of him. Enjoy these precious first weeks (despite the lack of sleep;-))! These pics really makes me think of having a 4th one as well ;-)

Congratulations Esther, to the whole family. All these lovely pictures are almost making me broody… I think I’ll knit something instead! (Love the suit you made, it fits him perfectly). No blue muisjes? Love Lara

I love all these photos. I think they so perfectly capture that magical first week when a new baby is born and a family gets to soak it all up and live in a little blissful bubble. These photos make me wish I could be there with you to be a part of it! I can’t wait to meet Casper — he’s so cute! xxx
