So, here's a funny turn of events. Remember how just yesterday they weighed her in at 7 lbs 4 oz? Yeah, today she was 8 lbs 7 oz. Turns out that the ladies at the hospital didn't know how to use the scales last night. (Which, frankly, makes a lot more sense. You all saw that fat little baby's face. NO WAY did that 21 inch long baby girl weigh 7 pounds.) Oh, and she has a whole name now... Amy Hazel. They'll call her Hazel, which we're all pretty excited about, since we've missed our other Hazel a lot.Copy.jpg)
This is my mom's mom... isn't she gorgeous?I love that we finally have another Hazel in the family. There've been a few Russells (one of which also belongs to Kirk), but she's the first Hazel amongst the grandchildren & great-grands in my mom's family. It's so cool to see family names going into another generation. What's really cool is that Hazel is a family name for Mar, too, so I know her family is as stoked as ours is that this sweet little baby girl is here and is carrying such a beautiful name.

We sure missed seeing you this weekend...thanks for letting us chill at your house on Friday. The boys had a blast swimming and playing with Franky.
Sorry that you have been sick :( no fun at all! I hope you get feeling better soon!
I am glad you posted the picture of Hazel I forgot to bring my camera to the hospital. Hazel is SO precious and the kids were all so cute with her!
Yes, your Grammy is a beauty!
I love, love, love the name. And OHMYGOSH....could she be any cuter?!? I think not.
Okay, just so you know, Amy W is also named after Grammy...as in "Amy Dawn." If you don't get the connection, ask your mother : )
HINNY, is that you? Hehe... Yeah, I did know Amy Dawn was named for Grammy. (Didn't know it until her funeral, when the story came up that she made up the middle name Dawn when she was in high school... but I've remembered the story ever since, and actually had that thought when I found out the babe's name was AMY Hazel.) Too dang funny... :)
Brea, I missed you too. Mom & Dad came by this afternoon and I got to look through the pics from the weekend. It looks like you guys (esp the boys & Brett) had a good time.
And Jen... thanks. Knowing that you're a hardliner with baby names, I love love love that you love the name. :) (ps - I also love that you agree that this girl could NOT be any cuter... you have such a good "cute baby" eye, it's NO WONDER we're friends!)
