Trying on her new outfit for Trunk-Or-Treat tonight at the church. She's posing next to our contribution to the sports team theme truck that our Sunday school class is decorating for tonight. Go Steelers............I think that we can all safely say that she is a born Steelers fan.........look how happy she is to be sitting next to the pumpkin!

A little daddy bonding time before he headed off to church.

Here are some baby pictures that Rebecca C. took of little Hayden when she was 2 weeks old.

Just hanging out with mom on a cold October night. She's all warm and comfortable in the blanket that Grandma Ross made her.

Here is our beauty queen after her first real bath. She was not so sure about the actual bath itself, but she liked being all wrapped up in her robe.

Hellooooooooo Baby! By all these pictures you would think that Hayden is awake all day, but the truth is that she is only this active for about 2 to 3 hours each day. We love that time though!

13 Days old and she's got the model pose down already!




Hayden in her bouncer seat enjoying herself.

I know that this is not in order of how things happen, but here are a few maternity pictures that our friend Rebecca did for us about a week and a half before Hayden came to be with us! Talk about cutting it close! She is an amazing photographer if you ever need one. You can see more of her work at www.rebeccacipollaphotography.com

Hayden's first "photo shoot" She was only 3 days old during this!

Hayden Chenayi Ross was born on October 5, 2006 at 9:26 pm. She weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces and was 20 inches long. God created such a perfect gift for Jeremy and I. Her middle name is the name of a very special woman that I met while I was over in Zimbabwe on a mission trip 2 summers ago. It is pronounced Chin-I and means Smart Heart in the Shona language.
