Smile!!

Lions and Tigers and Bailey, Oh My

We had a really fun family trip to the zoo today. It was a little cold, but that made for a light crowd. Bailey had a blast and literally ran from exhibit to exhibit. Besides loving to see the smiles and wonderment on her face, adding to our enjoyment was the fact that we made it out of the zoo virtually tantrum-free! Yay!!

Bailey gave out lots of hugs to "things" and attempted a few kisses!

..................................................Bailey to the lions:"Wake Up!" She also requested that we "open" up the glass wall for her. haha

I didn't get any good pictures of her watching the monkeys but she sure got a kick out of them. The other onlookers got a kick out of Bailey too as she joined in the show dancing around and squaking like a monkey. She also loved feeding the goats.

Not sure how we managed to pull her away from this...

After some lunch, Bailey was one tuckered-out little girl on the way home. Nice!

I have taken so many pictures like this of Alayna sleeping, but I just can't get enough!

Awww, Spring Weather

Bailey has been sooooo excited to play outside these past few days. I just had to post a few pics!

Sisters

Fun with Cousins

The girls had a visit from some of their cousins the other day. Alayna got lots of snuggles from Karson.

And Bailey surprised us all by busting out some wrestling moves on Kolton. It was hilarious and he was a good sport!

The Last 3 Weeks

Guess who's three weeks old already!!

Here's a look back...

Our last walk as a threesome!

Bailey LOVES the ducks. There are plenty here to feed, and they aren't shy!

The last official belly shot! 38 weeks and on my way to the hospital.

And here she is. What a little angel.

The proud grandmas

Some of the great-grandparents

Lucky Alayna gets to share a birthday with her Aunt Gina!

Two exhausted parents. Apparently, hospitals are not for sleeping.

Bailey was pretty excited to come see us at the hospital. It was miserable for her to have to say goodbye again each time she left. Thank you mom, for taking such good care of her for us at home!!

Time to come home!

My mom and Bailey had decorated the yard for our arrival. Thank you!

Bailey does her own inspection of the new arrival.

Alayna was a glow-worm for the first two days at home. She had to have a biliblanket to help get rid of some jaundice.

Sleeping Beauty

Caught some smiles


Saying goodbye to Nonna :(. We really enjoyed having you here mom, and we appreciate everything you did for us-which was a lot! Bailey sure had tons of fun with you too!

Alayna doesn't quite fit into her newborn size clothes yet!

KR and his girls

Bailey loves her little sister and gives her several rounds of kisses throughout the day.

Alayna's first walk. We think she hated it.

A second walk and time to feed the ducks again! Alayna was quite content this time.

We feel so blessed to have this beautiful new addition to our family!
