I was holding Halle while she was right in that zone between asleep and awake; her hair was crazy and sticking up all over, with her big eyes that would open and close, then open really big and I caught a glimpse of.... Christopher Walken. I know, I know what you are thinking- he is not an attractive man- why would I accuse my perfect baby girl of resembling him in any way? If it makes you feel any better, it made me laugh out loud to think of who I glimpsed, and I didn't say "Ah, my baby looks like Christopher Walken, how sweet!" I really did laugh, then quickly smoothed down her hair and wrapped her up in a pink blanket.
If any of you see this said actor when you look at my gorgeous baby, please spare me. I would like to think I have just been watching too much television these past couple of weeks :)

By the way, she has gained almost a pound since she was born! Now I feel much less guilty when she goes 5-6 hours during the night without waking up to eat!

Halle June was born on October 11, 2008 at about 6:00 pm. She weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces and was 19 inches long when she was born. She wasn't due until the 20th so we weren't exactly ready...but we are finding that a week wouldn't have made much of a difference in our preparedness:) As you can see, she was born with quite a bit of dark hair which is frequently styled in the famous baby mohawk. She is such a good little baby and we hope that she can be patient with her new parents.

Hey everyone! I think we are a little behind the curve but we are finally starting a blog. We just moved from couple status to family status so we can officially start a blog. We will post pictures of our new little family soon.
