April 2009 - Crib part II

April 09 - Standing in the crib

When we come in after her nap, she greeted us with a huge smile and a wave, while standing up in the crib... oops, time to lower the mattress.
:-)

We made it!

As soon as the dust settled from the move, Kelly and I took Haley and Chloe over to see the church where we got married (Memorial Church at Stanford).



In these pics, Kelly and Haley are hanging out across from the Stanford Bookstore...

Boston - Kansas - California 2009

Well, things have been pretty hectic for Kelly, Haley and I since the last blog post. In short, we packed up and moved from Boston to the bay area!

Fortunately, we were able to stop by Kansas on the way. While in Kansas, we stayed at Heather and Craig's and got to spend time with their kids.

In this shot, Taylor is giving Haley a big hug...

Haley's First Christmas

In the photos below, you can see Haley posing with some of the gifts she received this year. Click on any image to make it larger.

Haley and Jolly Ol' St. Nick

Haley's first visit to Santa Claus. She's very excited. The photographer was using a cow bell to try to get the babies to smile. I don't think it was very effective. I think babies just thought the photographer was weird.

Halloween

Well, fall has arrived in New England and it's been a beautiful one so far - great weather and some fantastic foliage.

Fall's funnest holiday is, of course, Halloween and to begin the celebrations the Ross family headed to the pumpkin patch.



Can you spot Haley's head in the midst of all these pumpkins? (hehe)

To continue the Halloween festivities, Haley dressed up as a peapod this year. She's easy to spot in the picture below (amongst the other babies from our new mom's group) - she's the only one not wearing orange.

A sleepy peapod.

Then there was pumpkin carving and photo ops with the family later on Halloween evening (the evil cat Eddie was a no-show in the pictures - she wanted no part in our shenanigans) .



The resident ghost joined us for one pix (look closely in front of the pumpkins). At the same time, Chloe was starting to grow tired of the photo shoot.
