Cute story!

So I have a cute story to share. The other day Angi was giving the girls a snack. Typically if the snack the girls are sharing is cheese Mattea gets the bigger half and if it is sweet Lily gets the bigger half ( Lily needs to eat something right!) Anyways, I think it was a cookie the girls were sharing and Lily's was eaten in 10 seconds flat. So she goes to Mattea "Bite?" Mattea gives Lily the teeniest tiny morsal of cookie and Lily gobbles it up. Again "Bite?" Mattea gives Lily another teeny bite ( we are a sharing family, you know). Again Lily gobbles it up and ask for another bite, Mattea looks at her cookie and looks at Lily and finally catches on and stuffs the whole thing in her mouth. I think Lily was a little dejected that Mattea finally got a clue ;-)

Just born baby boy!!!

He has a long torso just like his mom and his dad's ears ;-)

Finally off oxygen and able to get dressed!

His happy cousin in the waiting room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's Here

Me and Mattea are the proud aunt and cousin to Zephram Alexander Ellegood who was born
10/20/08, weighing 8lbs 8 oz, and 19 inches long. He is super cute and had a head full of brown hair, but not as much as Mattea. He had to be on oxygen for about 2 hours and we were not given the go ahead to hold him before I left so my arms are still aching. Nina is doing great and breastfeeding went well also. The funny thing was that my mom kept calling him "my sweet girl" and had to keep apoligizing since he was a boy. We all have to get better at it!!!

Ice Cream

As Lana, Beth, and Steph know from pizza night, Mattea loves ice cream. She doesn't get it often so she savors it and it is her favorite treat. When the pic was taken she was savoring her ice cream cone (the kiddie cone at McDonald's) and Lily, who has a major sweet tooth had already had her cone refilled 3 times from Charlie's big cone!!!!!!

Long time, no talk!

Some great pictures from our photoshoot

I can't even say how much I love these 2

"Happy to be Nappy" wants to post this

Mattea reluctantly sharing her banana.

Well, Mattea has no lasting problems from her shopping cart fall but now I am worried about not eating fish during my pregnancy and Mattea ending up falling short in the brain department. Another thing I could possibly say she inherited from her dad and not my lack of fish oil for 9 months!
