Charleigh Ann Taylor Arrives!


We are so excited to share pictures with our family and friends as we dive into parenthood. Our perfect little girl, Charleigh Ann Taylor, was born at 11:05 AM on Monday, June 1. She weighed 8 lbs. and 5 oz. and measured 21 inches long.








Here are some pictures of Charleigh throughout our time in the hospital.


Proud new parents!

Mimi, Pops, Gramma, and Grampa are so excited to meet Charleigh!


Charleigh's first bath and time in the nursery.

Our first picture as a family



Sweet feet! Charleigh has some of the longest toes! We find her toes clasped together like you would your fingers!

Proud Aunties, Elaine and Kari!



All ready to go home! We made it!

Charleigh was so alert that first evening we were home!

Aunt Meghan had fun with Charleigh doing a "photo shoot"!

Since being home, Charleigh has been such an amazing baby! She is so peaceful and calm, just like Brian. We're feeling pretty lucky right now as she's been sleeping 7 or 8 hours straight through the night. She's a major "sleepy head"--that may be the one thing she gets from her mama! We hope that luck doesn't run out! She's getting to be a really good eater; although, she does have to be woken up to eat, otherwise she'd sleep all day long. We are so blessed to have Charleigh and thank God every moment for our sweet baby girl!
