Merry Christmas From The Hensley's!

What an incredible first Christmas baby girl had today. I don't have much time as we are pooped and will have to come back with more details later. And pictures, lots of pictures.

I'll just say, we are so incredibly blessed and had the best Christmas morning ever. Our hearts and tummies are full and we still have one more round tomorrow!

Love to all our blog friends, hope your holiday was a great one!

She's Something Else.

I know it is something you hear from all parents, "Our son/daughter is special. He/she is different from all other babies." I'm guilty of it, that is for sure. There is just something about our sweet daughter that just completely sets her apart. Anytime she meets someone and charms the pants off of them, we always hear the same thing, "She's something else!" Oh yes, yes she is. She's quirky, she goofy, she's a chatterbox, she is the sweetest most affectionate little sass pot.

Her surgery was this morning and Jas and I were a bundle of nerves as we waited for her to go into the recovery room. They called us back and she was coming out of anesthesia which is something no parent should ever have to see their kiddo go through. She was in a very confused and frantic state, flailing her arms and legs, her eyes not really focusing on us. Like I said, frantic is probably the best word to describe it. Mommy and Daddy sang her the "Everything's Allright" song (that we totally made up on the spot... haha) and calmed her down.

Next thing we know, she is smiling at the nurses and wrapping her tiny arms around our necks for "huggles" and going back to her normal self. I held her hand all the way home in the car but I think that was more for me than for her.

We get home and she is laughing and playing and wanting to get right back into her routine. The child had hernias repaired on both sides but you'd never know it! I know children are resilient and they bounce back much more quickly than we do but I still think....

That she's just something else. :)

Addielicious Lurchenstein.

First off, baby girl got her ears pierced last Saturday, she was an absolute champ about it! I was a bit nervous, but she did great. She cried for about a minute and then got distracted by a sparkly scarf and completely got over it! Such a tough cookie.

Pretty girl with her sparkly new bling:

In other news, little miss sassy pants is trying her very hardest to crawl! She is pulling her legs up underneath her and lurching forward.

This morning she started doing what looked like pushups which cracked us up but then she started flopping herself forward and it literally looks like a fish out of water flopping around. Poor thing inherited her Daddy's dance moves! I kid. You can't tell by the pic but Zoe is standing there with her "WTH" face on.

Little nugget will be crawling in no time, time to hide the knives and fine china.

Best Pals.
