Daddy loves his little girl

So admittedly I was a little nervous that Olivier might always be a little partial to our son Wills and less so to our little girl on the way. Boy was I wrong! He's absolutely and completely taken by our little Hannah. The day we brought her home I went upstairs and grabbed my favorite swaddling blanket of Wills, wrapped her in it and laid her in her crib. About 10 minutes later Olivier walked in and asked me why on earth she was wrapped in a blue blanket covered in green alligators. "She needs to be in pink." So I went and grabbed one of her pink blankets... he was right. Much better. I absolutely love her in pink.

Arrival of Hannah Mary Quinn

So we finally got our small 9 pounder... Miss Hannah Mary Quinn arrived on Feb 17th at 4:16pm and came in at 9lbs. 1oz. and 20 1/2 inches long (a dainty thing compared to her big brother Wills!) And we're totally and completely in love again...

Wills meets his new baby sister & gives her his signature hug ("the lean-in")


Wills investigates & learns "to be soft". He's absolutely in love...

For those of you who know me well... I apologize!

So I struggle with blogging - just like I struggle with anything that has to do with keeping in touch with anyone in any way, shape or form. I realize I'm not telling any of you anything that you don't know already. You've all known this about me as long as you've known me. And as much as I'd like to change, I somehow only seem to get worse at it. And then tonight, for the first time, I realized that people (my great friends who love me despite my failure at keeping touch) have actually left comments on my blog - and some of them are from almost a year ago - and this is the first time I've seen any of the comments! You are all so sweet to comment and I'm so sad that I didn't see any of them until now! So, for you, the few who have left comments and who have probably given up on checking my blog to see if I have any new posts, I promise to improve on adding new posts more regularly. I love you all and appreciate all of your friendships more than you'll ever know! Much love. erin
