Debut

These photos of us at the park were taken two weeks ago, when Laurel was three weeks old. Although she had already gone out to many places before, this was her first time meeting any of our friends, so in a way it was her public debut.

Not that she realized it -- she slept in the sling the entire time. I only took her out for the photos!

I like the contorted facial expression and hands she's displaying in the first picture. Those funny little newborn tics and involuntary motions don't last long. By now, even though it's just a few weeks later, she's already got better control over her limbs.
