Daddy's Girl

Cole's first words after hearing that we were having a girl were, "I think I just got a little softer..." Watching him with Jolie is just the sweetest.  He adores her!  I am wondering if he will ever be able to tell her no!  Here are some pictures of Cole and Jo Jo, his nickname for Jolie.

Their first meeting


When Cole isn't working on something for school or football, this is what he is usually doing.







Proud daddy :)

Jolie's first walk

Cole giving Jolie her fist bottle

This pictures was taken before I left Jolie for the first (and only) time for my friend's bridal shower.  I think Cole and Jo Jo enjoyed some quality time just the two of them.

Some of the professional pictures we had taken




Jolie is a lucky girl to have such a great daddy!

Hospital Pictures

A few days ago we got the cd of pictures taken by the hospital photographer.  And, of course, I have to show off these sweet pictures of Jolie.  These were taken the morning after she was born. 









I know I may be partial, but I think Jolie is one pretty baby :)

2 Week Check Up

Today was Jolie's first appointment with the pediatrician.  What we already thought was confirmed...she's perfect :)  She is 21 3/4 inches long and weighs 8 lb. 4 oz.  She is in the 90-95th percentile in length and 50th in weight.  It is crazy to me that she has already grown so much!   Jolie also had to have her heel pricked for her second newborn screening and get a shot.  She didn't like it, but I think she handled it better than me...

Jolie at the doctor's office

This picture is just to show how long she is getting.  She wore this outfit right after we came home from the hospital and it fit her well, but now her belly hangs out!


Overall, it was a good first trip to the doctor, and I don't think Jolie was too traumatized.  We are so thankful for our healthy baby!

Our Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day this year!  Jolie got all dressed up for the occasion.  Papa and Nina gave her this cute 1st Valentine's Day outfit and, of course, Nina had to make a headband to match!




Mimi and Pops came by to bring Jolie a Valentine's Day gift...and a yummy dinner to her mom and dad!

Cole brought Jolie and me roses and a cheesecake for dessert.  We spent the rest of our evening laying around and watching a movie on Netflix....It was a perfect Valentine's Day in!

A Few Firsts

I can't believe my baby is one week old today!  It has been the best week ever!  Every day is full of lots of firsts for Jolie.  Here are just a few...

First time cuddling on the couch at home with Daddy.

I love to see babies (especially this baby) in hooded bath towels!

Squeaky clean :)

This morning a photographer came to our house to take newborn photos of Jolie.  I am so excited about them!  I can't wait to share them when I get them!
