We're happy to announce that our sweet little Alba Marie was born on 18 February, weighing 8 lbs, 2 oz, and measuring 20" in length. Here is one happy dad...
Looking a bit rough after being born, but who can blame her --it's a difficult journey!
Here is our first attempt at a picture of Dame with the kids who were meeting their little sis for the first time. Noel was just over the moon.
But he calmed down enough to not block the baby for the second try. :)
Emma, to my delight, is also excited to have a baby in the family.
She didn't want anyone to help her hold Alba. And I still have to keep a close eye on her and "her baby" since she's a little too eager to help at times.
Maddie was happy too, you'll just have to take my word for it. I know this pic suggests otherwise. Ha. :)
Time has passed and Noel is still grinning from ear to ear...
...still smiling...
...still smiling... ;)
Newborn Alba.
Here she's 3 days old with Grandpa.
I'm surprised she fell asleep without being swaddled.
Here I am bathing her for the first time. She screamed the whole time.
She still doesn't enjoy baths. Oh well.
A clean baby! And hungry baby. Always hungry... ha.
Anyway, I know that's a lot of pictures for one post. We're just so pleased to have her. I would write more, but as you can probably tell by all my short, choppy sentences I'm really tired. Go figure, eh? :)
