From The Mud Puddle

Two weeks ago, on August 2nd-We celebrated this:

Hannah was so tiny to us when she was born, so fragile. We asked ourselves, "now what" when we arrived home from the hospital.

We enjoyed learning about the ins and outs of taking care of a little baby, totally dependant on her parents for care. She arrived home in this little yellow elephant outfit-bought just in case she was a boy-or just in case she was a girl. We wanted something that could go for either. It had cute little knit pants with smaller elephants crawling all over them.
We affectionately called her chicken head, because of the hair of hers that stuck up on top. She found comfort in her "binky", the pink passy that we bought on a whim as we were trying various kinds.

I loved this little outfit she is wearing below. We called it her pebbles outfit since she looked like pebbles in the Flinstones. We teased that we could have taken some of that stick up hair and wrapped it around a bone just like pebbles. :)


She was quickly introduced to Scotty-the dog we had at the time. The first meeting did not go very well with Hannah, though Scotty seemed to enjoy the photo completely!(I must have been holding a cookie!)
