Nanny and Papo

Hadley's Nanny and Papo came to visit us this week. We had a fun visit with them and I know they enjoyed loving on Hadley.

Hadley's Daddy

This post is going to be about a different subject than the last several...Hadley's Daddy. From the day Hadley was born I have been completely mesmerized by watching Eric with him. I have seen a totally new side of Eric that has made me fall even more in love with him than I was before. He loves Hadley so much, and shows it in ways I could have never imagined before. I absolutely love watching them together, and I love listening to Eric talk to him. There have been many times already when I didn't know what to do with Hadley and Eric takes him and can soothe him and quiet him when he is upset. He is so gentle and loving with him. I am so excited about the relationship that they are building already. My two guys are the absolute best and I am so blessed to have both of them in my life!

Christmas 2008 - Part 2

My new "pig" friend - oink oink

What are you looking at?

Somebody help me!

Oh wait...this bath thing isn't so bad after all!

Talking with Aunt Karah

So much to say it just wore me out

A full tummy, clean diaper, and warm socks...what could be better!

You people wear me out

Will my hands ever be as big as yours PaPa?

Christmas 2008

Here is the first post with pictures from Christmas. I don't think I will have the patience to post all the pictures in one post so we'll see how it goes...

Merry Christmas!

Snuggling with Mommy Christmas morning

This was my "perch" watching everyone open presents - pretty sure when I'm older I won't be allowed to sit on the coffee table!

What a silly face!

Aunt Karah drinking some hot chocolate...yum!

So sweet!

Merry Christmas from the Lewis'

Some Christmas pictures

Here are a few pictures of Hadley in his new hat (from a teacher at Eric's school), and some other cute pics. There will be plenty more in the days to come!

1 Month Old

Hadley Max Lewis is one month old today! Happy Birthday, little man!

Finally more pictures

So I've been a little busy and haven't posted new pictures in a while - sorry! Here are some from the last week or so. Hadley is growing and changing every day it seems. We weighed him this past weekend and he was about 8 pounds 3 ounces. Enjoy the pictures!

Look at my chubby cheeks!

Just chillin' in my bouncy chair

Nap time

Meeting my great-grandma Lewis

Bath time in the sink

More bouncy chair time

I do love my bottle! (Such squeezable cheeks!)

Zzzzzzz

This is the life!

Mommy & Hadley's Day 'O Fun

Today I attempted my first outing alone with Hadley. Overall it was mostly successful. We had to go to the hospital to have the second part of his PKU screening done. Since that involved a needle prick we were not real excited about it, but he did very well - only cried for a minute. Once we got that taken care of we had to go buy diapers (because someone seems to be zipping through those like nobody's business!). So we went to the grocery store to pick up diapers and a couple other things. At that point Hadley was still doing really well - no fussing or anything. Unfortunately mommy made the mistake of making one more stop at a drive-thru and that was the breaking point. So one of us cried all the way home after that (I'll let you guess which one!). But once we got home and had a nice warm bottle all was right with the world again. So I would say we did pretty good for our first trip. I will add this, however...tomorrow you will most likely find us both in our pj's all day!

P.S. - Nanny I can't wait to see you! I hope you feel lots better soon!

Exhausted

I am absolutely exhausted! This taking care of a baby thing is great, but it is completely draining.

By the way, yesterday was Hadley's two week check-up at the doctor and everything looks good. He has gained weight like he is supposed to and is now at 7 lbs 6 ounces. I don't think they measured his length correctly so I won't even bother to include it on here. The doctor said everything looks good and he is doing everything he is supposed to be doing.

Getting ready to go for a ride in the car into town.

At the dr office..."this place is different, I wonder what's going on here."
