You don’t take pictures of yourself with your baby at 3 in the morning just because you think her little arm being raised up is the cutest thing?
Learning how to dance.
Smiling from a joke I told her, not because of gas.
Living the life.
After her first bath at home:
Her spiky hair makes me so happy.

Oh how sweet! I love the close up of her face – she is such a happy looking little girl. My mom just went by as I looked at the pictures and said that she is soo cute and adorable, too!

So so sweet! Makes me miss my little girl being a newborn… I couldn’t stop smelling her! Seeing how much you love your baby just melts my heart :)

most of us love baby pictures so I don’t see this as a problem. I can say that I didn’t take as many with the second as I did the first. I did have more formal pictures taken, just didn’t take as many “my camera is attached to my hand” pictures.
Keep ’em coming! :D
Erika
Ohgoodness! She looks like you already! Especially when she smiles :) i’m sure I have taken thousands of pics of my little guy by now :) babies are the best :)
Char
I love the last picture :) She is so sweet! Congrats again!
jen.
She is the cutest! I don’t think she’s a big fan of the whole bath thing, though. :)
Jamie Pickle
She is such a doll. Congrats on your new bundle of joy. It has been a while since I have been able to read blogs (my sis’ wedding was last week) and it looks like you are moving to the Bay Area. Welcome to my hood :) I hope you enjoy your new home. If you ever have any questions, let me know!!
Beth @ Running with the Sunrise
Brooke’s little smile is the best! And you’re right, her hair is fantastic. I hope you guys are able to get some sleep! :)

Tell Brooke she had the best hair I’ve ever seen on a baby! I just can’t get over how adorable she is. :)
Michelle
Brooke is rocking that hairdo. I love it! I’m so happy for you!! It seems like motherhood really suits you!
Lindsay
She is precious!!! Gosh, all her little movements and expressions are hilarious!! Hahah… I don’t care if it’s from gas!! LOL! Keep up the good work, mommy!! I’m 34 wks pregnant so I’m right behind you. You can do it! Everyone says it gets easier and easier…. so you’re going through the hardest time right now. Keep it up! ;)
Missy
Oh my gosh, she is just the cutest! There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking pictures all day long with that precious girl!
Every time I see my goddaughter, I want to take pictures of her. It never gets old!
Ariel
Omigosh Janae, she is the most precious thing. I cannot wait to hear all about her. She’s going to be such a superstar (more than she already is). I love her name and you and Billy will be the best, and most fun parents ever. I’m so excited for you guys! :)
Sara
She is absolutly beautiful!! Love the pictures, keep them coming!!! So happy for you. :)
Bess @ Bess Be Fit
I fully approve this addiction :)
Renee
You both look amazing. And now I’m super antsy to have my baby! Only 10ish more weeks…
Lisa
One of my most favorite things to do with my daughter was dress her up in adorable dresses, prop her up on the back of the sofa and take a gazillion pictures.
Isn’t that what you are supposed to do when you are home with a newborn? ;)
Congrats again Janae! She is a beauty!
Holly
PRECIOUS!!!!
Jennifer Blake
She is so sweet, Janae! Newborns are too sweet!!!
Colleen
Precious!!!!! Post more pics!!
Tina K
She is so adorable! You have jumped into the role of “mom” so easily. Live all the pictures :)
Marie
There is quite possibly nothing more beautiful than watching parents interact with their baby. Ours are almost five now and I will miss them like crazy when they start preschool in a week.
steph@lungesandlunch
That smile just melts my heart. Gas or jokes…. doesn’t matter what causes that adorable face. Keep ’em coming, Brooke!
Megan D
Ummm all those pics DEFINITELY needed to be taken! My favorite is the second one. Gosh she is just so tiny and perfect. Enjoy these moments with her before she grows big and starts kindergarten next week. Ack!
laurie
Brooke is so beautiful – just like her mom! you and Billy should be so proud.
Verlin
The pictures are all so adorable that I can’t pick a favourite. Her face on the one after the bath seems to be saying “what the heck just happened to me?!?!”. As a new Mom, you have the right to post 1173 pix a day before it becomes “to much”, so go for it.
Sharsti
She is seriously so beautiful! I love all that hair, and that smile. Congrats, so happy for you guys.
Kamaile
I’m here for cute baby pictures and you did not disappoint! :)

Natalie

Holly
Oh my goodness! Look how much she has changed in not even a week!!! I’m amazed at how quickly they change…she is just getting cuter!!! :) Love your little family <3
Michelle
Soon you are gonna wonder where the time has gone and then realize you’ve been staring at that sweet baby face (and belly and toes…) and still could, forever!
It’s so great to see the pics and how happy you all are. Congratulations!!
Lauren
She looks as surprised as I do when I actually have time to shower hahaha.
So cute, please keep them coming!
susette
She is absolutely so precious. I am so happy to finally get to see a picture with her eyes wide open! That’s what I have been waiting for. I wish I lived closer and I would be right over to help with everything. I love unpacking new houses and getting rid of boxes. But the bonus would be getting to hold Brooke Lin.
kim@hungryhealthygirl
Her spiky hair is adorable. She is so precious!!
Pam

Carolyn
She is SOOOOOO precious! What a beautiful baby! I am so jealous that you get to hold her and cuddle her and my little guy will NOT COME OUT. I love the spiky hair picture.

Jodie
Love! Never too many photos :-)
Katie
What an absolutely adorable baby and mom! Congrats. Happy that your baby is healthy and beautiful!
Laura Lok
Don’t ever stop and a piece of advise start NOW with putting them in an album or scrapbook you will be happy you did in 15 years. Nothing like a cute baby picture expspecially when they are sleeping. And when they become teenagers you can look at them and say ahhh ok this is why I am not going to kill you because at one time you were cute and one day you will be again or give me a grand baby that will be. Lol
Nancy Randle
Janae! Congrats, congrats, congrats! I am so excited for you. She looks so cute and healthy and perfect! And yes, it is so lame that the Subways in California don’t use the points cards. I have asked at several… PLUS I don’t think that Subway is as good in this state. What is up with that?! Anyway… I love your blog. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and I love your Petunia Pickle Bottom blanket and bag too. :D
Kim
I love her. That is all. :)
chacha
Good grief, she is beautiful! Seriously. I would take a gagillion pics, too!

Losing Lindy
I think she is just like you!
Lilly
I don’t think it is possible to get any cuter, awwww! She is amazingly adorable and precious!
Yo Momma Runs
She has the same hairstyle as my son (baby #2), and I was so mad that he wasn’t a girl because it was perfect bow hair. Brooke is so lucky!
Sarah
Loving these posts!
Lisa
Oh she and you are so beautiful. I think her hair is so cute and i love the stretching poses. Enjoy.
Mrs.CJ
So adorable!!! :)
Jessie

Very cute. The spiky hair is the best, though.
Mallory
I was laughing so hard at how you creeped in those pictures with her!!
shelly
She is so adorable!! Only a couple hour drive, but a free babysitter here (not joking)! I’ll give her back!
Elise
Awww she’s the cutest. Lots more pictures please.
Erin @ erinberries
She is a super cute baby! Absolutely adorable!
Maryea {Happy Healthy Mama}
I don’t know what I love more–how insanely adorable your baby is or how completely happy you look. Motherhood is the best.
Heather @ For the Love of Kale
Ahh! SO PRECIOUS. You’re amazing parents. :-)
