Day Two in the Life of Lara Rose Koeniger
-
Kathi mid-morning of Day Two, holding sleeping little Lara.
-
Aunt Marianne makes straight for the baby. Lara was 11 days early and Marianne was one day late, so this is the first day they meet.
-
Marianne starts talking straightaway to the baby who is paying rapt attention.
-
Lara in the bassinet, preparing for a bath by placing her long-sleeved-mittened hand in front of her face.
-
This is the first bath Mama is going to administer!
-
Lara is being attended to by Mom Kathi and Aunt Linda. Off in the distance, crazily tilted, is Grandpa Charlie Mueller.
-
Lara vocalizes on the subject of the upcoming bath.
-
Lara stretches. Baby Yoga.
-
Naked Lara calms down momentarily.
-
Beautiful, yes - but not as beautiful as in real life.
-
Kathi confidently holds Lara so her back can be washed.
-
Kathi washes Little Stuff's back.
-
A closer view of the back washing.
-
Kathi dresses her in a clean diaper.
-
The little one wears a cap so she won't cool off too much during the sponge bath.
-
Ahem ... one of the artistic out-of-focus shots.
-
Kathi dresses Lara in one of those long-sleeved t-shirts with "mittens" for hands.
-
"Who, me?"
-
Sigh. Only two days old, and Lara is subjected to her first experience of lame-photographer-red-eye-syndrome.
-
Three Generations - Erlmoser, Mueller, Koeniger.
-
Kathi studiously burps the child.
-
How about this manner of burping?
-
After ... let's see ... from 7 a.m. on May 11 until noontime May 13, Dad had been going full blast (if, admittedly, not quite as much as the new mother), and he takes a well-deserved nap on the waiting room couch.
-
Sleeping like a baby.
-
Inside the clear plastic bassinet.
-
Just for perspective: the wooden cabinet that holds the bassinet and Lara.
-
You can see the soft white peach fuzz of the newborn.
-
Aunt Linda peers into the face of her recruit for the women's basketball team.
-
Sadly, blurred.
-
Linda also tries to relax, if not nap, out in the waiting area.
-
Lara is beautiful but sleep-deprived Dad Rainer squints at the flash.
-
A close-up of Dad and baby.
-
One mo' agin!
