Lily Michelle Hale is here! Josh and I went to visit our friends Stephen and Amy yesterday at the hospital and got to meet their little girl. She is so precious! She was born May 27th and was 7 lbs 6 oz. It was so funny holding a baby that tiny again. I know it has only five months ago but it's hard to remember Cameryn that small! She was a whopping 15 lbs 11 oz at her 4 month check up so who knows how big she is now. And to think she started out at 7lbs 4 oz it just mind boggling.
Stephen and Amy are on cloud nine. They are understandably exhausted from the birth, visitors, and the hospital but they are so happy. I know they'll be great parents and show Lily the best the world has to offer. I'm so excited for Camy to have another playmate so close to her age!
In other news, our trip to South Carolina was a lot of fun. I'll post some pics soon, but goofy me forgot our Cameryn so I have to get copies of Deb's. It took us about 8 hours to get down there including stopping for lunch. Cameryn was so good during the drive! We just kept her entertained with toys, Veggie Tales, Mum Mum cookies, and whatever else we could think of. She is such a joy to have! I don't know many babies that would have taken being in the car that long as well as she did (If I do say so myself!) When we got there we got to see Uncle Bob, Aunt Tina and the girls and had a great dinner. Our cousin Ashley is quite the cook! We just all talked and played with the baby. The men of course retreated to the basement to act goofy and do Lord only knows what else! On Sunday the guys headed to Charlotte for the NASCAR race, which sadly was rained out. Poor little Josh's heart was broken. They did get in a full day of tail gating so it wasn't a total loss. Us girls stayed home and went to Aubree's softball game, to lunch, and then downtown to see the sites. They have the most gorgeous park! I will definitely post those pics. We walked around the park, went to dinner, and of course got ice cream. It was a great day with the girls, and a great weekend spending time with family. Cameryn was so good the entire time, I think she could get used to the warm weather down south! We are so blessed to have such a special little girl. Each day she amazes me and I just fall deeper and deeper in love with her. You walk around your whole life thinking you know "love", but until you have a child you just don't know what your missing. Before I start to cry, I better go and work on the other 100 million things on my to do list! . . . .Or I could put it all off for just one more day and Camy and I can go outside and enjoy this gorgeous weather! Hmmmmm what a tough decision: )
