Another Gray Hits the Stage

Haley Elizabeth Gray arrived today at 8AM. She was 19 inches long and weighed 7 pounds 13 and 1/2 ounces. Mother and baby are both doing well, and Holly and I are ready for a good night's sleep. We'll let you know when that happens. Here are some pictures from Haley's big day.

Mommy and Daddy admiring the 5-minute old baby.

Haley was decidedly against bath time.

Lots of family members came to see the new arrival, including Great Grandma Meeks.

Haley sporting a nice blue bow... Emily's bow, which Emily stealthily removed.

Haley discovering some of the perks of baby life.

Haley and Mommers getting acquainted.

Our main photographer finding her next target.
Overall, it was a great and memorable day. I'm a firm believer that every baby is a miracle, and Haley is no exception. We weren't sure how Emily would react when she met Haley, but she took it quite well. She gave Haley kisses when they met. We have that on video, but you'll have to wait for our next post for that one.

What a beauty! Welcome, Haley! I have my five month old niece this week and I must say, Asher (17 months) is handling it fine.

Congratulations, you guys! Those two will adore each other--built-in playmates! I'm glad all went well, and you're a lovely family of FOUR! Princess Haley is one lucky little girl. And she's beautiful.
