Time to baby proof

Ridley's favorite thing to do in the morning is to go through my bathroom cabinets.  She is only interested in the one full of lotions and hair products.  I guess this is a sign of the girly days to come.  I have to watch her very closely, because everything goes straight to her mouth.  A new item on my to do list, and Ridley isn't going to like it.

Sweet Mallory

Do I really have to leave already?  It has been nice to visit with everyone and hang out with Miss Mallory.  She continues to be a total cuddle bug, and I love all of her black hair.  My heart is so full and happy when I see my baby brother holding his sweet baby girl.  He is in love with her already, and it is absolutely precious.  

Mallory is a very lucky little lady.  She has great parents to care for her, and a crazy big sister, Ally, to show her the ropes of life.  I tried to snap a picture of the two girls together, but Ally had better things to do.

Meeting Mallory

I am an aunt to a precious baby girl!  My brother, Clint, and sister-in-law, Kristi, welcomed another girl to the family. Mallory Brooke is so stinkin' sweet, and I could not wait to hold her.  I didn't realize that I love newborns so much, and she has a huge part of my heart already.  

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Pretty Girl

Look who is looking pretty today in her new dress!  Ridley is modeling an adorable racerback giraffe dress from Mud Pie.  She, of course, was happy and full of smiles while I dressed her up.  Having a girl is so much fun!

Chatting

While rocking Ridley this afternoon, she spit her pacifier out and started chatting.  She was a bit shocked that sound came out, so she stopped.  I asked her what she thought, and she started chatting again.  There we sat taking turns talking about our day.  I am so in love!

Home

Call us crazy, but who would want to stay in the hospital when you can be at home.  We jumped at the opportunity to go home after 24 hours.  We packed up all our things, and we were waiting on Ridley's testing to come back.  Right at 24 hours, she was cleared and discharged.  Hooray!

We washed her hair and dressed her in the special going home outfit.  She looked absolutely precious, and my old pink smocked bubble was perfect on her.

Our close friend and neighbor, Kelsey, brought decorations for our home.  A girly banner and pink balloons for the mailbox.  So festive.  Love it!

She loves her right hand by her face.  This is something I noticed on the ultrasound, and I think it is too sweet that she does it now.  This is her first nap in her bed.

I just can't help myself when I see these two being so sweet.  I have to take a picture.  Sweet daddy and daughter.

It's a GIRL!

It is confirmed.  It is a baby girl!  I had my big ultrasound appointment today at my doctor's office, and it is now official.  I still can't wrap my head around the news.  I think this is shock.
