Our new little one does all of these very well, but I don't think they are annoying, of course! I LOVE everything she does, especially her cute little sneezes! Seriously, she is like the cutest baby ever. We have been so blessed through this whole thing, and I can honestly say I don't think it could have been more perfect. And that is all because of our wonderful birth mom and her amazingly supportive family. Liz, please know that not only are you a hero in our eyes, but in the eyes of so many others who you don't even know. We have had so many family members and close friends who are in awe of you. They love you and pray for you, just as we do. We love you so much and are eternally grateful for your sacrifice. You are a beautiful, strong woman who deserves all the blessings you can handle!

"You will not cry, or sneeze or barf or fart! No annoying sounds."
Here she is just moments after being born. C-section babies are always so pretty.
The nurses let me come back to the recovery room and feed her even though it was against the rules. She knew EXACTLY what to do with the bottle! She is a really good eater, and will fit right in with our family-we're foodies.
This was the night she was born, after Liz came out of recovery.
This is the only infant who my husband has ever wanted to hold. When I asked to hold her, he said Berlin didn't want me to. She does love her daddy already, and he can get her to burp WAY better than I can.
All wrapped up in her blanket from Aunt Kathleen! She loves it.
Watching "Pawn Stars" and cuddling after Liz was discharged.
Her eyes are open all the time! Liz was so tired, but Berlin loved cuddling with her.
I know, she is the cutest baby ever!
This was taken about 10 minutes before Liz signed the papers. I can not adequately describe the Spirit in that room. It was a little slice of Heaven.
She sleeps in her crib really well. But she does prefer to sleep in the car seat. She slept the entire drive from Queen Creek to home and while we unpacked the car. Aunt Kathleen put her in it yesterday so she could have her close while she was in the kitchen and Berlin slept for 4.5 hours! Woohoo!

She is seriously so beautiful and perfect... I couldn't be happier for you and your beautiful family. It sounds like Berlin (love the name!) is a miracle straight from heaven, and Liz sounds like an angel on earth. Congratulations over and over, and enjoy this special time with your family. :)

Okay love the pictures. Especially the one with Josh holding her when he is sleeping. Cutest. And I love the dress and the big flower on her head. So fun!
I love "Despicable Me"! What a great quote to use as your title! You daughter is gorgeous! And I LOOOOOOOOVE her name! I wanted to name our daughter Berlyn for years now, but we never had one! I was so happy when I saw you named her that! I'm so happy for you! What an incredible event in your lives!
Oh look at how cute you have her dressed up! Of course, she is so beautiful, keep the pictures coming!
We are so happy for you guys!! I know I have said this many times. But we really are!! Thanks again to Liz, you are so amazing!
How lucky you guys are to have such a good sleeper! That is amazing that she slept all the way home....I'm really envious! She must have Liz' cool and calm temperament. I think you all are so meant to be.
Hope you don't mind I blog stalk you now :)
