Hadley Elise Waugh

Dear Doodlebug, Happy One Month Birthday dear little Hadley Elise! It has been an extraordinary month! Your mama checked into the hospital on Monday, but you didn't come until Wednesday morning. It was a very exciting but intense time. Grandpa Schnelle and I were there for all of it. We saw you in your first minutes of life. You were so sweet and calm. Very alert. In the weeks since then, you have come to visit us once, and I have come to visit you.You are such a nice little girl. You only cry when you are startled or hungry. You are very strong and alert, you like to lift your little head and look around at everything. You know what your very favorite thing to look at is? Your photo on the wall! You also like watching videos of yourself! You take after your mama on that! You also look a lot like your mama, though sometimes I see your aunts, great aunts and cousins in you! You really love your parents. Whenever your daddy is around, your little eyes follow him and look at him the entire time! You also turn your head when you hear your mama's voice! Don't worry about your fashion, your parents have many, many beautiful clothes for you, and every day you wear some new fashion complete with leg warmers, booties and  hats or headbands! You have gained over a pound this first month and your eyes are getting very blue! Your daddy said you get  your blue eyes from Grandpa Albert, but I had to remind him Mimsi also has blue eyes:) Your family adores you and we are very excited for you to meet all your extended family, you just have to get a little bigger and stronger first-mimsi is very against any germs finding their way to you! I am so glad you are here safely and love watching you in your mommy and daddy's arms! Of all the babies in the world, we would choose you, so God knew just what He was doing in sending you to us! I love you, Mimsi
