Halloween '08

Hayden was Tinkerbell for Halloween. She has 3 Disney

Princess costumes, so it was decided on last minute. We
all went trick-or-treating, Jarrod, her, Vincent (in the
sling), and me. Hayden was GREAT at first. She said
"Trick-or-Treat" and she also made sure to say her
"Please" and "Thank You's." But then, about a half
hour into going around the neighborhood, she basically
just started reaching for candy and leaving. She only
lasted about an hour, but she made out pretty well for
candy

Hayden with "Baby Brother"

Hayden has been great with Vince. She's responded way
better than I ever could have expected. She hasn't been
too jealous or hostile at all. If she doesn't ignore Vincent,
than she's actually quite caring. If he cries, you can hear
her saying, "It's okay, buddy. It's okay. Shh... Bincent
(yes, with a 'B')." She throws away his diapers for me and
she loves to point out his ears, eyes, fingers, and toes. It's
adorable. She's a great big sister

Jarrod captured these shots of Hayden "holding" Vince
for the first time. Oh - and by the way - I forgot to
mention she either calls him "Buddy" or "Baby Brother"

Vincent & Dad

Everyone asks who Vincent looks like and, honestly, he
looks JUST like Jarrod's baby pictures. They have the
same shaped face, the same lips, and the same
expressions. It's looking like Vincent's eyes are going to
be leaning towards brown instead of blue too. I'm never
going to have a kid that looks like me, I guess. Oh well.
I have a cute husband, so I got a cute baby. I'm okay
with that.

Vincent - One Day Old

He was a little jaundiced for a little while - which is why
he's orange looking
