Where did the month go?

What would we do without grandparents? Miles and Hadley are so loved by so many people - but most especially by their five grandparents. Group hug - Miles, Grandpa Nickolay and Hadley.Hadley meeting Grandpa and Grandma Gray for the first time.

And visiting Great Grandpa Nickolay in New Prague.
On our New Prague trip we also visited one of the kids great-great aunts, Lucy, who in her late 80s still works part-time at the bank.

Miles has been going to school three days a week since Hadley's been born. Mondays and Fridays he's home with us. He misses his baby sister when he's gone and always wants to "hold the baby" when he gets home. He gives her lots of love for about two minutes but then shoves her away when he's done. It's very sweet while it lasts. Hadley just goes with the flow.

One of our family activities this weekend was to go to the Shakopee baby fair. Mike and Miles met the Vikings mascot and a couple of cheerleaders, we did some kids crafts and got lots of free samples at the vendor booths. One of the highlights was Miles touring a fire truck. He LOVES fire trucks (we have several fire truck books and engines at home and talk about fire trucks on a daily basis). He was a little hesitant at first to tour the real thing but with daddy by his side this cool kid had fun.
Where did the month go? Our sweet Hadley Rose is one month old today. She continues to be the most laid back baby. Besides letting out a little cry once in awhile full out crying is very unusual for her. The few times we have heard it we know something must be really wrong. Today, on her one month birthday, she seems to have come down with a cold. Her eyes are swollen and watery and when laying flat she's congested. Please say a prayer that our little newborn gets well soon!
Like I mentioned - even when sick she cooperates fully with pictures and looks darn cute too. At one month Hadley follows our faces with her eyes and is lifting and turning her head from side to side when on her tummy. She continues to nurse well and we're estimating that she's easily over 10 pounds now. No more newborn sized clothing for her!
Hadley loves to snuggle and so do I so the Baby Bjorn is perfect for us! We get to snuggle while doing things like taking walks and doing laundry.
Our family - one month post Hadley's birthday. Mike and I don't look too tired, do we?
