Brinley Elaine Ricks

After a few days of debate we chose to name our sweet little girl Brinley Elaine Ricks. Brinley because we liked it and Elaine after my mom. A few other names we thought about were Jenna, Aynslee and Hadley. Her big brother is in love with her! Every time he sees her he thinks she needs her binky. He loves to hold her and is interested every time she makes any noises. He has also needed a little more one on one attention from us, but overall he has taken this change really well. Here are a few pictures to enjoy. Brinley had a little bit of jaundice, but is doing better now. She's so sweet! We love her!

She is adorable! What a cutie! Congratulations! Hayden looks like he is going to be an excellent big brother. I am so relieved that you guys chose the name Brinley, I think it is a perfect fit! Congratulations, I cannot wait to meet her. Tell Hayden I dig his spider-man slippers:-)

She's so adorable - I can't believe how chunky she looks! I'm glad Hayden is doing well with her, I'm a little nervous to see how Carlee does with our new little one too. Brinley is an adorable name (even though I'm a little partial to Aynslee...), too cute! Good luck with two little ones!

What a sweetheart! That's so great that Hayden is adjusting so well. I can only hope that Clara will be the same way. You need to tell us more details about the labor and birth! I hope everything went well. Enjoy that beautiful girl!
p.s. I think she looks a lot like her daddy.

Oh Brinley is so cute, and it looks like Hayden is going to be the perfect big brother. I can see him in 6 years protecting her from bullies in school and making sure she is safe. They are so cute together. What a beautiful family. Hope to see you all soon, miss you and congratulations again!

She makes Hayden look like a big boy! So cute. Did you get glamour shots in the hospital? Really, is that how you looked right after giving birth? I'm jealous.
