she has arrived



hazel bentley davey has arrived
or hazel-bug as we endearingly like to call her
officially at 9:40am on Saturday, Dec 20th
she was 7lbs 4oz and 20" long
today we went in for her 2 week check up
she has packed on the weight
and now is up to 8lbs 6oz
the doc and nurses were so proud
they actually congratulated me
it was funny

being a mom is the most amazing experience ever
so different yet so natural
i love it
one of the best things is how much closer it brings me to brandies
i guess i knew that in my head
but the reality of our little family really starting
just makes me love him more than i could have ever imagined

hazel changes daily
and i'll work on posting pictures often
she is getting more expressive and works on doing reverse ab crunches
where she just lifts her head and shoulders off of the ground or
my chest when she lies on it
it's adorable
she also does this little pursed lip thing
it is the funniest when i am trying to feed her
it almost looks snooty, like my milk isn't good enough for her
quite the little princess
she'll sit with her daddy and grab both thumbs
brandon loves it when she does her gangsta signs
with both hands up "homies" style

it has been a long day so i have to run
and clip brandon's toe nails...

loves
