Newborn Pics

these beautiful pictures were taken by our sweet friend Erin

Bathing Beauty

Our diva has been spotted pool side...

Lounging and catching some rays (doctor's orders)

Yes, that is her coordinating cover up next to her on her lounge chair.

"The suns so bright! Can you move my umbrella a little that way."

So tough to be me!

I AM NOT HAPPY!

Daddy and Owen are enjoying some of our last days of summer.

Pa Doss showing Brody how it's done. This has become Brody favorite past time. He can jump to you a million times over and never get tired. He even loves to crawl out on his own. Which I see as "wearing him self out even more!"

We will be sad to close our pool. It has been a great summer!

One Month Old

Our sweet little girl is one month old!!!

Weight 10 lbs (75%)

Height 22 inches (90%)

Check out my shoes!

Still got ALL my pretty hair! Mommy keeps forgetting my bows! She not use to all this girly stuff yet.

NO MORE PICTURES! You're making me cross-eyed.

(this gives the willies when she crosses her eyes. I always think about mom telling me if you make an ugly face it will stay that way!)

One month check-up day with Dr. Nabulsi.

Dr. Nabulsi said Henley still looked a little yellow. She was yellow at her initial check-up but my milk had just come in so he was not concerned. This time he suggested I stop nursing for two day and let her catch some rays. He referred to it as breastfed jaundice. Never heard of it?

Sharon gave Henley this outfit the minute she found out we were having a girl and then my sweet friend gave her the outfit. This ensemble was meant to be!

Family Time

We been enjoying lots of family time since Henley has come home...

Sweet Brody

(check out what he has trapped under the box and notice his BIG, very proud smile)

He's checking on his prisoner

(No children were harmed or suffocated during this activity)

Brody is much sweeter to his sister (he still pretty much avoids her at all costs) these days. Sometimes he'll crawl up in your lap even if Henley is there. This man loves to cuddle and he's not going to let that little lady stop him.

Here's Papa D before he heads back to Dallas

Grammie brought Aunt JJ by to see Henley when she was in town

Daddy getting in some good tickle time with Owen. Henley was probably asleep during all the squealing. She is a trooper and has an amazing ability to sleep through the LOUD craziness of this house.

Owen is definitely his sister's keeper. He is always concerned about where "baby sista" is and what "baby sista" is doing, eating, wearing...

4 Weeks Old

Four Weeks Old

Henley is doing great.

Mommy loves to dress her up...

And she looks cute in everything!

Great Grandparents are here!

Great Ma and Great Pa came in from Horseshoe Bay as fast as they could to meet their fourth great grand child. Looks like they like her?

Nan came and spent the afternoon with her newest great grand child. Aunt JJ is in the back ground rocking her baby in Henley's blanket. Aunt JJ thought Henley was pretty cute!

Sweet girl hanging out in her cradle in the living room.
It's kinda nice the boys aren't interested in her so I don't have to worry about them messing with her when I'm not looking.

Whoa!

Looks who's getting curious!

Getting closer....

Contact!!!!

As soon as her touched her he wiggled out of Nana's arms and ran away squealing. Thank goodness this little girl can sleep through anything!

Henley's First Bath

It's time for this little girl to have a bath!

I had washed Henley's hair a couple of time before we actually hit the tub. She is so funny because she never wakes up and I just tilt her head back and give it a little wash. I was hoping the bath would be just a relaxing.

Uh Oh. Not quite as nice as just a shampoo

Getting better (I love this little sling to lay her on so I didn't submerge her umbilical cord, which fell off the day before her two week birthday) Look at that full belly!

After she finally started enjoying the warm bath, I took her out and really made her mad!

Ahhhh....
Dry, dressed and resting in her crib.

Buzz is Real Life

Nan, the boys great-grandmother, brought them a surprise when she came to visit...

Owen was more than excited to "become" Buzz

He's showing mini-Buzz who's boss

Activating his wings

Shooting his laser

Checking out his new look in the mirror

(take note of the look on Brody's face. Needless to say, he had NO interest in putting on his costume)

The boys

Our best family pic to date. Mom is the only one missing, but I'm behind the camera.

Does that count?

Dad's new duty is to take the boys outside and let them run till they can't run anymore!

Brody is doing his "Ready, Set, Go" drill here. The boys learned this trick from our friend Amy and they love to race one another.

Owen was running and running and running, while squealing with joy!


Brody is running back up the hill. I remember when they could maneuver this hill behind the house. They used to just roll down it!

Owen loves his new remote control truck from Pa Doss. I have banished it to outside because those big tire really hurt mom's bare feet!
