I normally like to start off my blog posts in chronological order, but I couldn’t help myself from posting this most gorgeous image of Colt holding his new baby sister. This kid was totally something else. He walked in, demanding to hold her and when he finally was able to get her all to himself, we could hear him quietly singing ‘twinkle twinkle little star’ to her while rocking her back and forth…I know, right?!?! Totally melted my mother heart. He was just to sweet and endearing and was like the big brother I always wished I’d had looking out for me.
Little Adele Marie however is a feisty little fireball…or at least she was while she was getting her bath. That girl has a set of lungs on her! She was SO not happy as you can see by the pictures of her screaming…with soapy water all over her. But let me tell you…as soon as that baby girl got into her mama’s arms, she settled right down, opened her eyes and looked right at her. I totally can picture her saying ‘You have no idea what I just went through…I need a hug’!
One side note…this was the first time I have ever covered a birth at Valley Baptist Hospital and the nursery staff was so phenomenal. They went over and above making sure that Brandon and Adele could have these images of Adele Marie. It’s always a bit tricky cause you never know with hospitals and all their policies, but the nurse who took care of Adele Marie was wonderful…just wanted to give them a shout out!
