Eddie's Newborn Pictures!

Our dear friend, Shannon Sano, came to our house when Eddie was just 5 days old to take his newborn pictures.  He was a sleepy, cuddly newborn and it was so much fun having his pictures taken.

Here are some of my favorite family shots:






Our little Eddie!







Check out Lucy's face....a.k.a. "I'm not sure about all of this!"


We even managed to get Lucy in a few with Eddie!



I also love these!





Denny surprised me again with a beautiful name charm!  Edward and Lucy...



My 2 favorite men!

2 Weeks!

Happy 2 Weeks!





You are such a happy, calm baby!  You are more awake now and enjoy looking at brightly colored objects and faces.  You look right at Mommy and Daddy now!



You love the sound of Lucy's voice and try to find her whenever you hear her talking.




She loves you so much and likes to "help baby brother!"


Here is big sister, Lucy, at 2 weeks old.


Do you think they look alike?

Dear Lucy

Dear Lucy,

You are the best big sister in the world!  You love your "baby brother" so much.  You often tell me to "help baby brother" if he is crying or even fussing just a little.  You will walk by him and brush his hair or pat his head in the sweetest, gentlest way possible.  You do not like when he is fussy and prefer me to tend to him before playing/helping you.  You are so patient, Lucy!


You do not call him "Eddie" but instead it is always "baby brother!"  You are so proud of him and like to show him off to others. When you wake up in the morning, you often ask me "Where is baby brother?" if you don't see him right away.  He is part of our family now!

You also love to have me "baby" you more now too!  You like me to hold you ("eat you") - not sure where you came up with this phrase?!?  You like to hold my hand and adore to cuddle when you wake up in the morning and after nap. You are still my little baby girl.

You are adjusting so well to our new family!  Mommy and Daddy love you so much.  You seem so big and are getting smarter every day.  Your vocabulary shocks us and sometimes we can't believe what you are saying.  You learn new words every day.


But most of all, we love having fun with you!  You are such a light-hearted, happy toddler!  We love you Lucy!

1 Week!

2 days old...

(I am going to try my best to take weekly shots of Eddie to capture his first year.  I did this with Lucy and adore the pictures.  Now let's see if I can keep up with it?!?)

Happy 1 Week to Eddie!

Our little baby boy is 1 week old.  Our first week together has been wonderful.  You are a calm, sleepy, happy baby and love being held and snuggled.  You sleep most of the day and night (yay!) and are very happy when awake.

We went Dr. Kern for a check-up when you were 5 days old and you surpassed your birth weight!!!

 On May 9th:
Weight = 6 lbs and 10 oz.
Length = 20 1/2 inches
Head = 13 1/2 inches



I love your "newborn noises" so much!  You make the sweetest little squeals and squeaks!


You are learning to love your pacifier and do really well with it.  You can't always keep it in yourself but when you have it you are very happy.


You love bath time!  Even if it is just sponge baths so far - your favorite part is the warm water on your head.  You close your eyes and calm down when the warm water is poured on you. It is so sweet!

We love you Eddie and can't believe you are already 1 week old!

Meeting The Burrows and Uncle JayJay!

Aunt Julia, cousin Elisabeth, and cousin Anneliese drove to Columbus on Friday to meet Eddie!  It was so nice to see them and watch them LOVE on their baby cousin.


Ellie and Anneliese just couldn't get enough!



Anna really LOVES babies!

It was really nice to see Julia! (Nothing like your sister after having a baby)



Uncle Jay-Jay also came to visit baby Eddie!  He is quite the lucky baby.



And Lucy LOVES her "baby brother!"
