| Off to see Hayden. I've totally mastered the single-handed carseat/baby bag/thermos carry. |
 |
| Hi Hayden! |
 |
| Positive that nobody is looking, Hayden surreptitiously removes his oxygen. |
 |
| Back at the hotel, Scarlett preps for her South Indian modeling career. |
 |
| Later, Scarlett sneaks in a bit of pool time after her nurse instructs me no less than 20 times "not to tan her." Got it. Eyeliner? Ok. Tanning? Not ok. |
 |
| Catching up on her beauty sleep with an afternoon nap. |
 |
| Scarlett has started a trend with her Indian anklets. She now takes all of her new friends to "her" jeweler. |
 |
| All dolled up for dinner. This girl has got one heck of a social calendar. |
 |
| It's my party and I'll cry if I want to. It's rare we see a smile between 5-7 p.m. |
 |
| But come 8:00 and she's back to her charming self. I had to take this picture, as it was the first time I actually took the stroller outside. Due to a lack of ramps and even ground it will likely be my last as well. |
 |
| Bath and bed. Good night! |
Oh, my goodness, she is getting so chubby and big! And that dinner outfit - wow!
ReplyDeleteThat outfit was formerly known as the "baptism" outfit. Looking at the "chub" the other day, I figured she better where it while she can! She is growing like crazy!
DeleteLook at the belly on Scarlett! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd Hayden is looking very good...I love the one of him secretly removing his oxygen...CLASSIC!
Great photos...and remember NO TANNING but LOTS OF EYELINER!!
Hilarious. And no ear piercing until 9 months. (Even though mommy secretly has other plans.)
Deleteyou girls look fabulous!! scarlett's pink and blue outfit is amazing - wow! i always laugh and smile at your captions - i always say "it's my party and i'll cry if i want to!" :)

Thanks, Maria. I've been thinking of you. I need to catch up on all the blogs. Hugs from Delhi. We definitely need to meet up when I am back in the states! x
DeleteWe have begun our own "Bring Bern Home" campaign back here in the states, and will do whatever we need to do to help make that happen. Can't wait to see the prince and princess - they sure do have your sense of style...! We love you, Aunt Elaine and Uncle George
ReplyDeleteAnd I love YOU. We are campaigning away here in Delhi. I'll keep you posted. xoxoxoxo
DeleteYou have the prettiest daughter! She is so cute and she makes those outfits look good! :) Love the anklets and what fun keepsakes for her when she's older.

DeleteGorgeous Hayden & Scarlett. :D thankyou for sharing these pics x
ReplyDeleteGosh bernadette she is gorgeous!!! Her features are changing every day, doesn't look a new born anymore good work! Xo
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how different she looks every day. Can't wait for our Australian/US reunion so you can meet her in person;) Thinking of you!!!
DeleteYou are such an amazing woman. Very glad you have your favorite girl sidekick with you to shore you up with joy. Mr.H continues to be adorable and clearly recognizes you as his own lovey one. Does he ever get to visit with Scarlett too?
ReplyDeletebest wishes to you......
Unfortunately, Scarlett is not allowed in the NICU nursery:( I cannot wait until they are together again!
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteHayden looks the best I have seen him! He must be on his way to graduating soon. Scarlett looks as gorgeous as ever.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! Could your wee bubs be any more cute!! Scarlett is growing so fast and gets prettier each time I look at your blog posts. Hayden is such a handsome young man.. sneaky too ( love the oxygen pull.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comments! And yes, Hayden is quite a character!
DeleteYour sweet children are amazingly beautiful! You could start your own Indian shopping blog with your favorite stores. I love all of Scarlet's Indian ensembles and her bangles. Hayden is looking very well - he has the most beautiful eyes.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to put up a post about all of our favorite spots. Will do so soon!
DeleteOh my goodness, they are both just too precious! Love the oxygen pull. Hayden is just too smart and he's going to give you a run for your money after he comes home, that's for sure. And I just can't get over Scarlett's delicious baby chub!
ReplyDelete(and on an unrelated note, it looks like my comment might finally go through without having to choose the anon option. :) )
Thanks for the lovely comment, Manapan:) We love Hayden's "big" personality and are quite sure that yes, he is going to keep us very very busy!
DeleteScarlette - your little Indian Princess, so cute and loving the belly!!! Hayden so handsome and looking great. As hard as it most be you will have some amazing memories to share. Keep going Bernadette I'm sure you will be home very soon.
ReplyDeleteWell first of all does that dinner frock of Scarletts come in an Australian size 10-12? Secondly - thank you so much for making me smile again today :)
ReplyDeleteIt does!!! Not to worry, when you arrive, I'll take you to all my favorite shopping haunts. Thinking of you and praying the visa mess gets sorted ASAP!!!
DeleteWhat little cuties Scarlett and Hayden are. So adorable! They are getting big and both looking healthy!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stacey! Can't wait for our NY/MD reunion:)
DeleteI think she is trying to compete with Hayden for the chubbiest cheeks award.
ReplyDeleteYour last 6 posts just arrived in my Google Reader. I have no clue why. I'm tired of trying to figure it out. Anyway, you're still there!!! I'm so sorry. Do you want me to fly out and give you a break?
ReplyDeleteLove your little Indian Princess. Yes, the eye-liner totally works!
m.
Seriously? We could do a parent swap! I'll come stay in your gorgeous new house with your amazing kids and you get to come to... India! Hmmm, not sure this is a fair trade. I'll throw in some extra samoza-- what do you think?
Deleteahh Miss Scarlett looks so pretty, indian princess all the way!
ReplyDeleteYes, the girl is going to have a rude awakening once she gets back to the states!
DeleteHi! I'm not even sure how I stumbled on your blog a couple of weeks ago, but I've been catching up with your story. Miss Scarlett is growing like a weed and quite the cutie. Hayden too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kasey. The support means the world to us and Princess Scarlett soaks up all the lovely comments I relay to her;)
DeleteAdorbs!!!
ReplyDeleteHoping your plans to get Hayden and Scarlett home come through very quickly! They are beautiful babies!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that they just get cuter and cuter?
ReplyDeleteThe "no tanning" cracks me up. Reminds me of the Nivea commercials over there that even advertise "lighter underarms".
So glad master cheeks is finally on his way home, love the nursery just beautiful! I'm currently in Delhi And would love to buy our daughter an Indian anklet but so far have had no luck with any of the jewelers, would you mind sharing the info on where you bought Scarlett's from? Keep the updates coming, can't wait to see the photos of Hayden's first day home.
