When Todd brought Lincoln to see me in the hospital (Parker was still at school), Anndra wasn't in the room when they arrived. She was in the nursery getting her first bath. So Lincoln got to spend a few minutes with me in the bed before she showed up. This video was taken just after the nurse placed her back in my arms.
At the end, after Lincoln refuses to kiss his sister, he reaches out to Todd, points to the chair and says "Please" (he doesn't quite put the 'pl' at the beginning). We've learned over the last couple of days that this means he wants Todd to sit down and take the baby so Mommy can hold him - only him. Thankfully these moments of jealousy are only occasional and most of the time he's happy to have her around.

Our baby girl has arrived!
Anndra Eve was born Friday, October 9, 2009 at 11:31am. She weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. and measured 19 inches long.
Some of you may be wondering how we chose her name. We wanted to name her after Todd's mother: Debra Ann. So we took the "eb" out of her first name and added the "D" and "ra" to the end of her middle name to make "Anndra" - hopefully she won't mind having to spell it for people all her life!
Here's our sweetie with her namesake:

Summer moments continued
Here are a few more of our cuties from the last month or two...
Parker (already!) talks about how he can't wait until he's old enough to drive... maybe his first 'vehicle' will be something like this? I see a future summer job in the making. :)
I have to say that when you are 7-8 months pregnant, it is very nice when one of your kids is old enough to push the other in his swing. Lincoln doesn't look too excited here, but he really does love it. He's probably just impatient with the fact that we stopped Parker to take the picture.
Parker lost his first tooth Friday, August 7th. So he was able to start first grade with just the right kind of smile... He actually just lost his second tooth (the other bottom front one) earlier this week (9/29).
Parker's first day of 1st grade - August 24, 2009. The teacher had all the students color their names while they were waiting for the others to arrive and get settled in. You can tell how excited he was to break open that brand new box of crayons.
For the last 4 months or so, Todd has been taking the boys on a weekly bike ride (usually Saturday mornings while I do yoga). Sometimes they ride to a park or to get donuts or to play at the McDonald's playground. These pics are from one of those bike 'dates.'
This is a classic Lincoln expression when he's pleased. He loves chillin' on the couch with his big brother first thing in the morning. (And the bent down ear reminds me of when he was a newborn and his ears were always getting folded over).
This little toddler is no longer happy with sitting in the cart - he just HAS to do whatever Parker does.
