She is more beautiful everyday!

Everyday Haley is changing and growing. She now weighs a whopping 7 lbs 8 oz. This was very impressive to the doctor. She gained 10 oz last week! It is crazy to look at pictures of only a few weeks ago and see how much she has changed. Our lives are forever changed by her sweet little spirit coming into our home. She is so much fun and it is amazing to think that we are her parents.

As far as updates, we don't have many. Laura is staying home with Haley everyday. That's about all there is to say there. Benjamin did work/is working five night shifts in a row at the hospital. He is getting closer and closer to being later every night because he doesn't want to stop holding her. Laura and Haley miss him tons but tonight is his last night. Then he only has to work a few times in the next 2 weeks. He will be home tons!

Haley is sleeping through the night a lot better. We had a few nights for a while that were going to do us in, but now she sleeps (*gasp*) in her own bed without a fuss all night. She only wakes up about three times to eat and have her diaper changed. She usually falls right back asleep while being burped. She is getting more and more expressions. She is starting to coo every once in a while, although we don't think she knows she is doing it yet! She has the cutest little voice. We love our little princess.

Ok, so here you go. We all know that if you check our blog it is just to see pictures of little Miss Haley, so here are some of the newest:

Haley is quite the wiggler. She is constantly moving and stretching. She is so fun to watch. Benjamin sometimes will get pictures where it looks like she is a karate champion!

Grandpa Art drove up last Saturday from Salt Lake City to meet his new Great-Granddaughter. Our favorite moment: Benjamin said, "Isn't she pretty?" Grandpa replied, "Pretty?! She's BEAUTIFUL." It was hard to pry her out of his hands. He was excited to have another girl in the family.

Haley wore this beautiful dress that Laura's Mom made for her to church this last Sunday. There is a bow on the front. It would never stay tied because Haley played with the ribbon the entire time. We couldn't keep it out of her hands!

Haley's Grandpa Terry and Grandma Cathy love seeing her. They try and find excuses to see her. In fact, they don't even hide it. They once offered for us to come over to their house (at 10pm) to "visit" if we were bored. Somehow we think this might have had selfish motives, but we love it too!

The stink eye! Enough said.

Laura has never seen a father so completely in love with his daughter. This is one of her favorite pictures. She loves her Daddy too.

Love you all,

Benjamin, Laura and Haley
