Happy Easter!

Aleah 11 Days old

Evan calls me a nerd for taking this picture, but how could I resist. Aleah is so small and with the Easter holiday I thought it would be so cute. I am lucky I caught this pic, because the rest of them she had a stinky face. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and that the Easter bunny was able to find all your houses. The Easter bunny made it to our house and Ethan loved his coloring books, movies, and bubbles oh and how can I forget the CANDY!

Aleah is 1 week old

You might wonder what this is a picture of. First of all it didn't turn out great but it is Ethans race track. His Aunt Julie bought him a lightning mcqueen color/sticker book. It has been keeping him very busy. He covers my couch daily with stickers. It is the greatest thing. I just peel them of at night when we go to bed and he does it all over the next day. He loves it and it doesnt hurt a thing. I just think it is too cute how he lines them up all in a row. I have had a lot of fun dressing this little girl. You will notice from the rest of these pictures.

I had to get pictures of her on this blanket. My mom made this for her. She makes a blanket for each of the grandchildren. They are my favorite! They are so silky and soft. This one has special meaning to me because it is just like the one I had when I was a baby that my mom made me.

Here she is good and awake. Don't look at her tights they drown her, but I had to put them on her still.

Aleah looks so good in yellow. This is one of my favorite dresses. Thanks to Myca :) Unfortantley Aleah wouldnt pose.

You might think this is just an ordinary picture of her asleep, but look at the smarties on her lap. Grandma has been spoiling Ethan with candy and treats all week... he loves his sister so much he has even been sharing them with her.

Aleah is very healthy and is such a sweet baby. We are very blessed. She has been sleeping at night in 3 hour spans. I just hope it stays that way. I never thought I could love another child as much as I love our Ethan but I love this angel with all my heart. I am still recovering but I would have another one again tomorrow if they were as sweet as she is. She never cries and is so patient with her brother. He has to be in her face all the time. If she is hungry he thinks that she is trying to eat his nose. Once again I am feeling very blessed that Ethan is such a good brother and that Aleah is such a good baby. Thanks for all your kind words and support.

Welcoming Aleah Jo Waters

Evan with his baby girl

Ethan is so excited to see his "Leah". He cracks me up already. He knows that she eats milk and for some reason he thinks that her blue bulb syringe has chocolate milk in it. He brings it to here all the time and says " Here Leah choco milk." It is very cute. He has tries to share a lot of things with his sister... mostly food and a few toys. He is very sweet. He really wants to help feed her and change her diaper.

Loving life with an epidural.

The people who made my delivery such a sweet experience.

Dr. Hodges and Becky. They were so amazing. It was such a great delivery and a lot of it was because of them.

We are so excited to have Aleah here. I am so thankful that heavenly father has blessed us to be parents again and to give us such a beautiful healthy little girl. We love her very much. I will post more pictures later.
