Sammy picked out the tree and we all had so much fun decorating for Christmas together!

My big sister Alana is my favorite. She really takes care of me when Mommy and Daddy are busy. She even changes my stinky diapers!

We got to come home from the hospital on Friday afternoon because my Mommy felt so well. I really love my family and my new home.

My birthday party

My Mommy's family came to town for my party too. I am the smallest of all of their grandchildren! They couldn't believe how little I was.

Papa Gene

I was laughing in this picture because I don't think my Papa Gene has ever held a baby before!

Worth the wait

My Granny Pat has waited a really long time for me, but I think I was worth the wait. It was great to meet her...afterall, my Mommy and Daddy gave me her middle name!

Finally...I am here and healthy!!!

My Daddy fell in love with me at this very moment...he didn't know how much he would love having a little girl.

Only a few hours away...from Stella's arrival!
