Our Newest Addition - Vada H

Our new granddaughter Vada arrived on November 8th.  She is our second grandbaby, but the first for our Vanessa and her husband.  Monday I took these photos for Thanksgiving - well, any excuse to play dress up with the baby!
The one below was inspired by Pinterest.  She has mommy and daddy's wedding rings.  
The wrap is from Pottery Barn Kids.  
I did her Onesie for a Cricut Contest several months ago.  Didn't win the contest, but still love the little squirrel from Create A Critter 2 cartridge.  I layered on each color of ink after cutting vinyl to use as my stencil.  I added the bow after Vada arrived and we knew the boy or girl answer. 
Uncle Trey brought this Onsie to the hospital the night Vada arrived.  So, Trey, this one is for you.
Vanessa ordered her Turkey hat from a shop on Etsy.
We just love our new little doll and her cousin Sierra who will be 21 months old here in a few days.  I am looking forward to doing Christmas photos of the 2 girls together (understanding that it will be a bit more challenging than a sleeping Vada by herself).
