Bath Time!

Hadley had her first bath on Thursday!! I was a little nervous about bath time because she's small and slippery but Jeremy and I did it together and it went really well. She did, however, pee all over me right before we put her in the tub!! I had taken her diaper off and wrapped her in a blanket so she wouldn't get cold, and right as we were putting her in she decided to go all over me! I'm sure it won't be the last time!

She did not like it at first when she had the soap on her and cried but seemed to really like it when we washed her off - maybe she knew it was almost over! We tried the calming lotion after the bath but I don't know that it really calmed her down at all, but we will try it again with the next bath and see!

Poor Hadley!

Almost done!

Busy Weekend!

We had a very busy weekend with Nanny, Grandad, Aunt Sammie, Nicholas, Natalie and Naomi! We had a great time with everyone staying here with us, and Hadley was able to meet her cousins on Daddy's side. With three little ones running around, she did really good with the noise and didn't seem bothered by it at all. Nicholas and Natalie call her Baby Hadley and loved to give her kisses and touch her, which was very sweet. We only had one time when three of the four were crying at once, so that's not too bad! Jeremy and I are amazed at how Sammie juggles three little ones and we are excited to hear how the upcoming 2 week Florida vacation goes!

I will say Hadley and Mommy took a 2 hour nap yesterday after everyone left - we were worn out!

Here is a picture of all the kiddos with Nanny and Grandad - it's hard trying to corral four at one time!

Hadley Kate Ezell!

Hadley Kate Ezell was born June 1oth at 5:25pm and was 7 pounds, 1 ounce and 20 inches long. She is absolutely perfect!

She is a lucky little girl to have so many people who came to visit when she was born. Mimi, Bub, Grandma, Pa, Grandmother, Aunt Becky, Uncle Bob, Nanny, Grandad, Nana, Papa, Aunt Le and Uncle Buzz all came down to Keller to visit Hadley. We have a number of people coming over the next few weeks as well to meet her. Aunt Shelly and Uncle Charles are even bringing Emily and Ashley down soon, which will be quite the trip since Ashley is just two weeks older than Hadley! Aunt Sammie, Uncle Josh, Nicholas, Natalie and Naomi are coming down this weekend so we'll have a houseful!

It's amazing how small she is but how much she is growing every day. We thought she was getting Daddy's beautiful olive color skin, but come to find out it was a little bit of jaundice instead! She is much better now and back to normal color, but we're still holding out that she'll get Jeremy's skin tone without the jaunice!

Mimi stayed with us last week after everyone went back home, which was great - we really enjoyed having her here and she was such a huge help as we are getting used to being a family of three now. Our house is already full of toys, baby clothes, socks, burp rags....and she's not even 2 weeks old yet! It is a wonderful change for us.

I am including some pictures of Hadley - we are proud parents and want to show her off anytime we can!
