Some pictures just for fun

Okay, so this one is of cousin Elizabeth. I loved it because I was trying to take a cute picture of her when she was on the computer. I asked her to look at me and she told me "I'm too busy!" and waved me away. There was just something about a 3 year old "too busy" on the computer that was so adorable to me. Apparently we chose the right mobile. Hailey digs it. P.S. These cute jammies came from Aunt Holly. She introduced me to Crazy8 and we're lovin' it! She wakes up so happy and it lasts for all of 30 minutes until she realizes she is wet, dirty, hungry, bored or just tired again! Whaaazzzzuuuppp!? Daddy sure knows how to dress a little lady. You just buy clothes fit for a 45 year old divorcee with a Harley & get them really small right? She could barely move for the sake of fashion in her lovely leather biker jacket. She is such a good sport.

Per your request

We've had some requests for more pics of our little princess. Today I actually have about 2 minutes to throw a few of them out there for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy. I know WE sure do! . Even when she's mad, she's pretty sweet. It was a fun 1st Christmas.

Back by popular demand ...

... PHYSICAL ACTIVITY! Ah, exercise my old friend. I'm officially back in the gym and I'm not sure I have the words to express the complete joy I felt today as I set foot in and eventually back out of there. I cannot wait to go again tomorrow, and pretty much every day! I AM BACK ... well, still technically about 25 lbs. from being "back" but at least "back" in the sense that I've regained another piece of myself, ahhhhh. It's going to be a real hoot losing baby weight during the holidays, if the word "hoot" is a synonym for almost guaranteed failure. :) Wish me luck!

All we need is just a little patience

Hopefully the Guns-N-Roses fans out there appreciated the title of this post.

Seriously though, a little patience is just what we needed. We've hit the 6 week mark & things are going much more smoothly. Hailey is getting into a routine, sleeping a little better and is generally more enjoyable when she is awake. Maybe it's the fact that I feel so much better or that we're sleeping a little more that makes her appear that much more pleasant to us during the waking hours. Maybe it's her beautiful social smile and general progress as a person. Who knows? We're just glad things are better. I don't know how long we could have existed in that whole first month environment.

I am finally mailing her birth annoucements off, but for those of you that cannot wait ... more pictures for your viewing pleasure ... and our bragging pleasure.
