Meet Summer!

I still can't believe she's here, and how easy things have been so far. Garrett likes her a lot, but is having to learn how to be nice. He's made her cry a few times already, but immediately says "Sorry Baby!" He'll also go "Poor, poor baby" whenever she cries. So far, so good! Tonight will be the real challenge. We were so blessed that the Criders kept him overnight last night so we could focus on Summer. Now comes the fun part.

She has SO much hair, she definately looks like she takes after my side of the family. Maybe my Dad won't think she's bald, which he said Garrett was when he was born :-)

My husband just LOVES getting his picture taken :-) He's already hopelessly smitten, though.

"She's CUTE!" He announces.
Lots of hugs for Baby Summer!

That's it for now. We have no complaints--nursing is going better, and everybody is pretty happy and feeling great. Its so nice to have been home all along. Summer is really laid back, and other than wanting to be held all the time, she's a super easy baby. And who can really blame her for wanting to be held?? :-)

WOW- she has tons of hair! I loved nursing both babies- but the second was defintiely easier. I held my second almost all day- I didn't want to put her down and she didn't want me to. I relished her newborness, knowing she may be my last.
Enjoy!
