Life goes on after I am in bed...

So pretty and clean!

Brushing all that dark hair


And now the massage...



Love the Hadley towel!

A few words about the blog

Mom says she has fielded many questions about my blog and how it will change now that Hadley is here. We met as a family and decided that I would remain as the narrator of the blog for now. As Hadley gets older (and Mom has more energy to be creative!) we may make some changes. But for now, all remains the same!

Hadley's first few days at home

Finally! Hadley understands the sheer joy of having a Ba (pacifier in layman's terms)
Momma and Hadley snooze together

I like to point out all of Hadley's body parts - here I am showing Nana her nose.


My turn to hold the baby!



Nana and Hadley




I heard the words "attention seeking behavior"...is this a good example??





A close up - Hadley's skin seems to be more olive than mine...we look pretty different!






Nana and Hadley watch some TV







The whole family went for a walk - and I brought along my baby while Mom pushed Hadley in her stroller.








I rushed home from school to be able to hold Baby Hadley.




















Hadley is coming home! She was bright eyed for the entire car ride

Hadley's Birthday

Listening closely to Momma - she was telling me how much she loves me!
Dad and his girls - I look a little scared but really I was just getting used to sharing a lap.

It is so nice to be with Momma!


Hadley gave me some sticker books for being a good big sister



At last - I get to meet Baby Hadley! She is so tiny.




So exciting!





Here I am on my way to meet Hadley! I brought an extra purse in case she needs one.






No explanation needed







Hadley's silly bow hat - courtesy of the nurse.








Hadley already likes to suck her thumb









Cheese!










Mom and Hadley meet again in the recovery room.











The papparazzi gets a first glance












A little knuckle sandwich to tide me over until Hadley gets to see Mom.













A healthy baby girl! (Grandad, please try to ignore the orange scrubs on the UT student nurse).














Hadley in the nursery - there was a line for the bath so she had to wait















The official weigh in
















Hadley meets Mom for the first time. Her hands took a while to pink up, but now they are just fine!

















Hadley gets her prints taken


















A few more Easter pics...and coming soon, Hadley pics!

Stolling downtown w/ Grandad.
Looking good w/ my hair pulled back.

Better get a closer look


Any eggs under the TV?



Boy this basket got heavy fast!




Dad helps get me started on my egg hunt.
