Happy Birthday Daddy

Today is Scott's birthday!!!
Dawson. Harper, and I love you very much!

I gave Scott his gift yesterday because I can't keep surprises. Every day he flips the channels and sighs and says "Man I wish I had the NFL channel." That was easy. Now every day can be like a fall weekend to him!

Since it's Scott's birthday - I thought I would share you with you the first moment he FINALLY got to hold his daughter after 12 days! Ignore our babbling ................. It's always great when you hold your child for the first time........but after waiting almost 2 weeks.......it's unbelievable. I stayed up late last night looking at video we took in the hospital. When she opened her eyes at 10 days and we finally really SAW our daughter - it was something I'll never forget. I cried all over again at the sweetest gift we've been given.
(I think I fixed the video so it's not private anymore - but let me know if you still can't see it)

Kelly, that was precious. There is a song by John Mayer called Daughters. It melted my heart the first time I heard it, being a daughter and having a daughter. I think you and Scott would enjoy it. Hope you guys have a Blessed Day!

She's just beautiful. I can't imagine having to wait so many days to hold your own baby. We had to wait an hour while our baby went to the NICU and I was hysterical during that hour. Of course, I didn't know if my baby had lived or died and no one would tell me so it was very very scary. But to have to wait that long? Kudos to you for holding it together so well!

Happy birthday to your husband!

Emily said...

That is the sweetest thing ever! How sweet! I love it! Praise God!

Hello Kelly! This is the first time I have ever written on your blog. I was on maternity leave the same time you were. Your daughter is 4 days older than my son. I started reading your blog when I was at home with my son. We would pray for Harper and your family everyday. I'm so glad that she is healthy and doing great!! You have such a wonderful family. That video brought tears to my eyes. Happy Birthday to your husband! I hope yall have a wonderful day!! Oh and I thanks for sharing your recipes too! :)

Angela said...

Happy Birthday to the Daddy! The video was so sweet! I can't wait for my hubby to hold our little girl for the first time! Any day now! When I got pregnant after losing our boy last year I thought it was so perfect that our baby was due around my hubby's b-day. Well, guess what...if she does not come by next tues they are inducing on Jarred's 30th birthday. I thought how cool, God even cares about the little details. Jarred wants nothing more than to share his special day with his new best girl. Please pray for us....a healthy baby and healthy mom!

King J's Queen said...

Kari said...

Happy Birthday Scott!

I cannot imagine what you guys went through. And, I cannot imagine having to wait 10 days before you got to hold your baby. What that must have been like for you guys, I will never fully understand. But, praise be to God that Harper is well, and home..and you can hold her all you want!
I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Chari said...

That video makes ME cry! So sweet!

I love Harper's bare feet picture today!

I pulled your blog up at work and I don't have sound on my computer but I still watched the video and was amazed at how Harper looked at her daddy the whole time. It was obvious to me that she knew his voice. How precious! Happy Birthday, Scott!

Hey! I tagged you for a word game ;)

Crystal said...

Happy Birthday to your honey! Oh how mine would love the NFL network. ha.

That video brought tears to my eyes. Bentley is sitting in my lap and her little eyes were glued to the screen. She got upset when it was over. Too too cute!!

Shannon C said...

What a beautiful moment! You can't help but cry when you see the love! I'm pretty sure Harper is in love with her Daddy! My 2 year old daughter watched the video with me. Now, she keeps say, "Look at baby!" So, we will have to watch it a few more times.

Heather said...

I love that she just stared him down!

PS: How come the fat rolls on my legs aren't quite as cute???????

The Simmons Family said...

The video is PRECIOUS!! Isn't it aweful to wait to hold your baby?? Or having to ASK if it's okay? I think that was the hardest part of Owen needing open heart surgery. WAITING.

Thanks for sharing!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Channe said...

Such sweetness...
thanks for sharing!

Cami & Co said...

This is the first time I have commented. I have been stalking since right before you had sweet Harper. I just had to comment today. The video reminded me of the first time my baby girls daddy was able to hold her for the first time. It almost brought tears to my eyes. Harper is just so precious.

Rachel www.jackandcoledesigns.com said...

Could anything be sweet?? I think not. Happy Birthday to Scott!

I wish I could meet you one day!

Blessings to you guys!

Can I have an address where I could mail something to Harper? What size is she in now?

Rachel www.jackandcoledesigns.com said...

I meant, could anything be sweeter!

James' Full House said...

Oh, how precious is that first moment. She is beautiful.
I have been following her and praying for her for months now. God is so GOOD! It has been a blessing to watch her grow and learn from you. Your faith and trust is admireable.
Great Bday gift! I may have to borrow that idea.

How sweet! She was probably thinking "so that's the voice I've been hearing for 9 months". I can't believe she was grinning. So precious. Happy Birthday to your husband.

Happy Happy Birthday Scott!

You've got the ultimate wife there! I know it would be a big snow storm in Los Angeles before I got the soccer channel for my hubby (he's European).

Kelly, I sobbed watching this clip. There's definitely something amazing about that daddy/daughter relatioship.

You are so blessed to have them in your life.

Danielle (Life with the Hewitt Family) said...

Happy Birthday to Scott! What a great present you got him.

Lisa said...

video works for me! OMG that is so sweet!!!! I could just eat her and her rolls up. I love how she just looks around and then stares at her Daddy. I could just stare at my little girl and her daddy all day. It's so cute! I also love Harper's bow. How in the world do you get it to stay? What is your secret?
I'm so glad she's well now. What a little blessing they are.

Pamela said...

Kelly, each time I hear your voice on video, it makes me stop...I think for just a split second that it is mine. I guess it is us both being southern gals, the accent sounds the same over video, but it is pretty crazy. I need put some video on our blog so you can hear and let me know what you think! Pam

Jennifer said...

Cute video~ You can see how Harper has changed already.

Happy Birthday Scott!

Happy Birthday to your sweet husband. Loved the video of him holding Harper for the first time. Hope you are continuing to feel better.

Beki - TheRustedChain said...

Lots of things to say -

First, I don't think I've ever posted here before but I've had you in my favorites for a while.

Second, that baby girl of yours is just beautiful!

Third, you LOOK like an Arkansas girl! Is that strange? ;-) I mean it in the best way. I'm from Missouri and have family in Arkansas and always thought the Arkie girls had a certain look about them.

Fourth, regarding your photos on the wall below, don't you just LOVE those $3 frames from the WalMarts?! I love those. The black just ties everything together beautifully.

And finally, I love Matilda Jane clothing. I've been a fan of hers for years, since she was selling on ebay!

Jacquie said...

I know you won't believe this, but that was SUCH an emotional video for me to watch! Her connection with her Daddy as such a new baby was just so moving!!! She is truly precious... I just can't say it enough. (Although I hear it quite often here at work!!)

Rachel Dominguez said...

What a happy daddy and i must say...I can not get over the accents you guys have. LOL

Kelly,
Thanks for sharing with us! How precious--and what a great moment that was! I can't believe how long she stared at your hubby! It probably seems like ages ago now, though. The time just flies by, doesn't it?

Happy Birthday to Scott!! Guess what? It's my birthday, too!! I haven't met very many people with the same birthday, so I'm excited that there's someone else out there who shares my birthday. Yea!! Hope it's a great one!

Blessings,
Linda

Vanessa said...

Happy Birthday Scott! Hope it is a good one :) I love all the pictures you take with her. That face is priceless! That is a great idea for a birthday gift. We dont have tv, but if we did then I would definitely get that for my hubby!

The video is so precious. I will never forget when I saw my hubby hold our daughter for the first time. You could just see him melt. It is such a wonderful thing.

Have a blessed day!

Harper's outfit today is outrageously cute. I was inspired by her Baby Legs yesterday to go try Annabeth's on her. They didn't fit yet. I'm so bummed because I bet it will be hot before they do! The video is precious. It looked like she smiled for a sec.

That's funny- the NFL channel would be my worst nightmare. I hate football but watching you enjoy it makes me want to like it! Thankfully we have turned off the tv again for the time being, which always brings more peace into our family and more time to spend together!

Donna said...

Happy birthday Scott!!! What a blessed man you are, but I'm sure you know that. The video is beyond precious. Harper was really studying her Daddy.So alert after all she had been through. And I don't know what people are talking about with your "accent"..sounds normal to me (Macon, GA).LOL. Keep the videos coming. Everyone is surely enjoying them.
Keeping you in my heart in GA.

The video is precious, made me cry. First, are those Baby Legs? Second, I can tell you are a very hands on mom. My boy was born in December 7th, close to Harper and we just started Kindermusik classes today. Wonderful! I can't say enough about it. Opens Harlon's eyes to a who new world. When Harper is able check out a free class somewhere. www.kindermusik.com

I have been reading your blog since a friend introduced it to me when Harper was born. I can't wait to read it everyday. AND, today is my birthday, so you gave me a great gift by posting this video.

Thank you again - Happy birthday to your hubby!!

She has to be the most beautiful baby girl I've ever seen!!! Of course, you know this already. You are her very proud Mama!

So glad you guys are doing well.

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

How precious! What an amazing thing -- I felt cheated out of the immediate-after-birth holding of my son because I had a c-section, but I did not have to wait twelve days, so I shouldn't be complaining.

She is a beautiful girl!

What a precious site to see her studying her daddy's face so intently. She's absolutely beautiful!!

Hey there. I know you don't know me but I have been following your blog since Harper was born. I have loved watching Harper grow stronger every day and have prayed for y'all many times. I have meant to comment so many times, but just never got to it. I love reading your blog all the time. Y'all have been such an inspiration to so many people. I wanted to comment today cuz yesterday was my hubbie's birthday too. Small world. We have a blog too but not nearly as high tech as yours. haha. It's www.dtkbrooks@blogspot.com. I loved the video of your husband holding him for the first time. I remember how it is to see your husband hold your little girl for the first time. We have a 16 month old. What an amazing ride you have ahead. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. :) Oh, by the way.... sorry.... My name is Tiffany and we live in MS. Hope you have a blessed day.

You have the cutest voice Kelly. Here in CA we don't hear many Southern accents. What a smart girl you have, looking around and so alert at such a young age.

Thank you for sharing that special moment with us. It was totally precious how Harper could not take her eyes off of him. She was finally matching his voice to his face! So sweet!

Happy Belated Birthday to Scott!

Harper is so precious, you are so blessed to have such a beautiful angel!

I have been following your site for some time know, and I have to ask, how do you get those absolutely adorable head peices for Harper??

Do you make them yourself or are they available anywhere? I am just Dying to know so that all of the beautiful little girls I know can have the cutest bows and hats ever that Harper wears! Would really appreciate it!!
