Even MORE happy grandparents!


Brooklynn is so blessed to have wonderful grandparents! Grammy and Grandpa (Joy's parents) are so proud of their new little granddaughter and love to spend time with her.

One hungry little girl!


After her 2-week doctor's appointment, we found out that Brooklynn has gained one pound and one inch since birth. She sure loves to eat, and in this case, loves to hold the bottle by herself.

Now there's some happy grandparents!


Meme and Paw Paw (Rich's parents) got to spend some quality time with Brooklynn after she was born. They're the proudest grandparents a little girl could ask for.

More of the Cutter family visit Brooklynn!


Uncle Ivan, Aunt Rita, and Cousin Jeremy came all the way down from Southern Indiana! We really appreciate them coming all that way to pay Brooklynn a visit.

Not quite Anne Geddes, but...


Here's a photo on this Sunday afternoon that hopefully all of you will enjoy. I laid Brooklynn down on her blanket on the couch last night and snapped some really great shots of her while she slept. Then some of my Photoshop skills took over. I thought this one turned out great.

Our precious little sleeping beauty.


Brooklynn is sleeping so well. We sometimes have to wake her up for her feedings. We hope this keeps up...but we're not counting on it. Such a peaceful little baby.

"Anyone want to change my dirty diaper?"


It's so hard to believe that Brooklynn is already a week old! She's changed so much since her birth. I can see why people say that your children grow up so fast.

A Happy Mommy and a Little Smile


Here's a couple more photos from Brooklynn's sixth day. She had her first doctor's appointment this morning where the pediatritian said that she looked absolutely perfect. She also had her first shot...which was very traumatic. It's tough actually seeing tears of pain coming out of your child's eyes.

Later in the day we actually captured a smile for the first time. You just have to wonder what she was dreaming about.

The Best Valentine's Day Gift Ever!


Brooklynn celebrated Valentine's Day by getting all decked out in her Valentine outfit. It's hard to believe she's only 5 days old. It's amazing how she's changing every day.

Look at our little frog!


I realized just today that we have a little frog on our hands. She's actually a perfect little angel. She's been doing really well since coming home from the hospital and we're just really enjoying our time with her. We couldn't be more blessed.

Brooklynn Grace Cutter!


She's finally here...and she's perfect! Brooklynn was born on February 9th at 1:20pm. She weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce and measured 20 inches long. Joy is doing just great. We just got home a couple hours ago and I wanted to share at least one photo with everyone. You can be sure there will be many more to come. We want to thank everyone for their prayers. We been so blessed with this little miracle.

Where, Oh Where?


Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but we've both been super busy not only in preparing for Brooklynn's arrival, but wondering where in the world she is? Joy was due last Wednesday, but Wednesday came and gone...along with Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday also! Brooklynn is definitely teaching us patience. We think that Joy may be induced this week if she doesn't go into labor. We'll keep everyone posted.
