Sleeping baby

Are you a hard-core baby lover? Because this is only for the most devoted :) It's a minute of sleeping baby noises.

More random

My pictures lack a theme lately

Lucy got a haircut

Charlie made a computer.

Tessa sleeps

How long do they keep this look?

I can't remember but I love it

The pursed lips!  Also, the sleep smiles!

Miscellaneous

Tessa and I got so much done when everyone left! Or not.

The kids can't leave her alone. Also she was stretching on their art project.

We're seeing a little more alertness.

And look at big sister! All her hair fits in the pigtails.

Tessa's Baptism

Teresa was baptized today! Thanks to Grandma Patti for the gown.

Here's Deacon Mike and her godmother Kathy.

A blessing for her to put on the shield of Christ.

Baptized! No crying

Congrats to our newest Catholic!

1 week

And so beloved 

Dance recital

Here's our little dancer. They gave a small performance.

The boys watched and got to take pictures.

Here are a couple videos. Ohmygoodness. Tiny ballerinas!

I think this one is even cuter but Grandma turned her camera on its side so it's a little harder to watch.

Family

One arm escapes

Charlie is nearby whenever he's allowed

Jamie practices his surprised face 

Lucy loves being a big sister

Hey! Not the baby!

5 days old. Still sweet.

Such a proud oldest brother

I hold her almost all the time, but she does enjoy the little bed occasionally

Cafe Junkel

Some delightful chef/waiters prepared and served a meal for the new parents tonight.

It was three courses with the best of dinner companions.

Baby, day 2

Daddy and Tessa resting their eyes. Daddy had a very long day on zero sleep with four kids while mom and baby rested.

We got a few eyes open pics during diaper change.

It's a dimple!

Having been awakened, she was starving.

I can't resist a couple taken while she sleeps on my arm, which is how she has been most of the past 36 hours.

More Tessa

These are from her first few minutes. She was born in our bedroom.

She got to cuddle. We haven't bathed her.

Hehe

Look who loves Daddy

Teresa Joan

Our baby Tessa is here! Born at 4:54 am August 14, weighing 5lb 6oz and 18 in long.

Someone is a very excited big sister.  She  keeps yelling "hold it! Hold it!"

Everyone needed a turn holding her (Click to see whole thing)
