I have the cuttest niece! Was she 8lbs 9 oz or 8lbs 1 oz? It keeps changing. She has the littlest lips! She seems like she might be a brunette. Although I can't remember if Derek was born with dark hair. I am so excited for you guys. Just remember front to back!

Ashley said...

Yay, I have been continually checking for a picture! She is beautiful! I am so glad she has lots of dark hair! Hope you are all adjusting well.

She was 8 lbs 9 oz... for some reason the scale was off... so they measured 8 lbs 1 oz... but found out that the scale was wrong. So, officially, she's 8-9.

Mitch said...

and about the hair... I remember that Derek had hair just as dark... but just not as much. Most likely she'll lose it and it will lighten up, but we'll see.
