Houston, we have a belly button! After almost three weeks, Hayden's umbilical cord has finally fallen off. Yay! Her appetite has been increasing and we can tell she is growing. We will find out how much she has grown next week at the doctor's. Hayden is a great baby. She sleeps a lot. Her fussy time is usually somewhere between 9:30 and 10:30 but other than that she rarely cries - only if we haven't brought out food fast enough. We have been sort of muddling through a schedule, she is a little flipped and sleeps during the day and then is up from about 8 or so until midnight, but after that she sleeps well. We have been taking pictures but none really do her justice and her coloring doesn't quite show up the way it does in reality. Hayden's color is quite red, there is light brown as well so it will be exciting to see how it grows out.


We also want to thank everyone who helped out and sent us things that first week we were home. Lauren's parents helped out a lot with food, and a beautiful Edible Arrangement. Aaron's parents gave us a lovely flower and balloon at the hospital. Also thank you so much to Qualstar for the yummy Mrs. Fields box, and Nevers Palazzo Maddux & Packard for the Mrs. Beasley's basket. So cute!
