Savannah Cielle P. joined our family at 8:19am on August 25, 2010.
Savannah, my husband and I have had many adventures since her birth (and during our epic pre-birth hospital stay and labor induction resulting in 24 hrs of labor + eventual c-section).
Here are some links to her extra-special moments during her first two weeks of life followed by a photo tutorial on teaching your week-old newborn how to smile.
Photos of Savannah's first moments after being born and our 4-day hospital stay:

And now, new parents take note...
Here's how to get your newborn to smile for an iPhone photo...
Start with a grumpy, furrowed-browed baby, otherwise known as a "newborn in her natural state":
Begin phase 1 of "Mommy trying to make baby happy":
If baby remains difficult, take matters into your own finger. Baby may remain skeptical:
Eventually a dimple appears! Almost a smile! The finger does the trick every time!
Success! Savvy smiles :)
Mommy takes full credit for the evolution of this baby's smile!
