Hadley (6 weeks) Grayson (2 weeks)

We are officially in the holiday spirit! We had our first holiday party at Jon Jennings house this past weekend and took our little bundle of joy with us to make an appearance wearing her Mrs. Claus outfit. Was very fun getting a pair of tights on a 6 week old but the photos made it all worth it! Friday night we made a trip to Chris and Alyssa Clopton's to meet baby Grayson. We welcome Grayson Ellis Clopton on Dec. 8th weighing in at 8lbs 4 oz and 21.5 inches long. We did our first photo shoot with the kids in their onsies. I have posted some of the shots. Sunday cousin Tom and Woofie came up to Baltimore to celebrate some as well. Tom brought Hadley a platipus from Australia. Don't come by those too often! THANKS TOM! I will probably not post again until after Christmas so everyone have a WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!!!

Time flies!

Hadley's One Month Bday shot!

I have been lazy lately and haven't posted in a few weeks. Hadley was 5 weeks this past Friday. Its hard to believe how quickly the time is going AND how quickly Christmas snuck up on us. I did get my cards out finally (as you all should be getting them) but took me a bit longer. I did decide not to bombard all of you with mail and didn't do separate birth announcements. Just one card. Hadley had her one month doctors apt. a week ago yesterday and she was up to 8.9 lbs. I can only imagine she is even bigger now. I did put one of her newborn fleece suits on today (the one she wore home) and the sleeves are a bit short so she is definitely growing. WE have seen LOTS Of smiles this week but they are very random and not sure she knows she is doing them. I will have to become an expert with the camera and try to capture them. I will do some photo shoots of her in xmas gear, maybe this afternooon, but for now I will just post a few pics. One from her one month birthday, our little Christmas tree and a few others. Hope everyone has a FABULOUS Christmas. We have a very busy few weeks coming up but can't wait to see many of you.

Almost a month under our belts!

Thanksgiving Day

We have almost made it a month! I can't believe how quickly the time has been flying. We are still doing quite well and Hadley has become a nice addition to the family. We still have our occasional pretty rough day and night but I think that will be the case for the next 18 years. Thanksgiving was a wonderful day. All the grandparents were here in Baltimore with us in our little row house and we seemed to make it all work. Price grilled a 16 lb. bird and a separate breast so we were sure to have leftovers for sandwiches. Our menu was a new green bean recipe that was delicious as well as mac n cheese, mashed sweet potatoes, mashed regular potatoes, stuffing, canned cranberries and then Grammy's cranberry relish recipe. Everything turned out perfect and we only ate 30 min. later than we had expected. Dad poured some delicious wines and then later that evening we had apple and pumpkin pies. Friday was Price's 31st birthday. Mom stayed up here and watched Hadley while Price and I went out for a beer and then met some friends at the local duckpin bowling alley for Price to roll a few bones. It was a great night out but we were tired the next day. Hard to stay up that late now, especially since you have to stretch it for the next feeding. Saturday we got all packed up and Mom, and the Booker crew headed to Northern Va for 2 nights. Was our first road trip with everyone, dog, baby, etc. We did quite well. Once in Nova we had a whirlwind weekend for Hadley to meet lots of her friends. She met both sets of Gallaghers, Laura and her parents, Jon and Jenny, and SUnday all her little baby buddies (Sam, Elly and Connor) as well as Alex who was home from Australia. Was a fun time but we were quite wiped even still today. Thanks everyone for such a wonderful first Thanksgiving weeknd for Hadley!
