Momma's 1st post...... "The birthmark"
Its time someone other than "Daddy" put their thoughts on this blog! Weird how Dad seems to have a lot more time for this kind of stuff lately...
First off, we love reading the comments that people are leaving so please continue to post them as they are definitely being read. We also appreciate all the wonderful wishes, cards and gifts that everyone has sent over the last few weeks. If Scarlet isn't spoiled enough from her parents, shes getting it from all the wonderful friends and family that we are surrounded by. "Thank you" just doesn't seem to say enough! (Thanks to Aunt Kathy M today as we received your package. LOVE the bunny!)
Secondly, I thought I might mention Scarlets birthmark that mysteriously appeared several days after we brought her home. According to her pediatrician, it is a "Strawberry Hemangioma." Basically it's just a birthmark that can grow in size for a few months and then it goes away during the child's first few years.
Now you may not have noticed it in a lot of the pictures as it developed after they were taken, AND daddy likes to "Photoshop" it out when posting pictures. Ive mentioned on a couple of occasions that we probably shouldn't do that as it doesn't portray what she really looks like. (For the record, I HATE the birthmark and have been obsessing about it for a week now) When I went online to look up information about it, I realized how much worst this could be. That and everything points to the fact that it should go away! Sooo... wanted to let you know that from time to time daddy might miss a picture and you will see it, but for now, we will continue to remove it and you will never know the difference!

I just now am trying to see if I can post a comment.
Happy to see your postings, Ginger and ron is a great writer too. This is great.
We love the picture of Scarlet with both of her hands up by the side of her head. Little Josephine does the same thing-we thought it was a unique thing to Josephine. Bobby started laughing and said, "I guess it is an understanding between all girls - girl power!" Hee hee
As for the birthmark - it is a badge of courage - we actuallly thought it was cute. You know how in India, they put that mark in the middle of the forehead? Anyway, don't obsessed. She is super cute. :)
And congratulations on the one month mark! It ges progressively easier!
Trying to post a comment with repeated failures.
I can't believe you have let a whole week go by without a new posting. I check the site every day and then review all the past postings.
Go get 'em, Grandma Bell.
What gives Shockleys???? I'm pretty sure you've taken a picture or 30 in the last week and I'm pretty sure Ron has been online.
Make the Fantasy Baseball trade snappy and start posting pics of my baby!
Annnnnnnnnnnd, she is beautiful just the way she is. No need to Photoshop her precious little face.
For real. I loves her little strawberry.
Good job on the blog. Very nice pictures. Happy to be updated on Scarlet's progress since I can't be there to see her. She won't seem like such a stranger to me when I finally do get to see her. I hope to see her before she starts walking but if not I am sure we'll be seeing some of her first steps anyway. Glad everyone is healthy and doing fine.
