things I wish I'd thought of part 1

THIS is one of the most amazing and awesome ideas ever!! So cute, and I'm not gonna lie, I might steal the idea. Except that I might also lack the motivation and drive to actually do it.

Here are a few of my favorite entries:









Adorababy!

dutch søren

At long last.... he's here! Liz & Zach (well, mostly Liz) gave birth to sweet little Dutch Søren (and yes the line in the o is important) last night around 8:30ish. He's beautiful, weighs 8 lbs 12 oz 4.5 pounds of which are in his cheeks, making him quite jolly. Just in time for the holidays!!

Kevin and I went to visit them in the hospital on my lunch break and just couldn't get enough! He's peaceful, attentive and quite smart I think. Here are some pictures of him from the visit:

note the wondrousness of the cheeks:

my favorite picture that I didn't take, "gnome dutch," who is asking what in the world Willis was actually talking about:


my favorite picture that I did take:


So dang cute! I could hold his cheeks all day! More pictures to come, I'm sure.

cuddles magoo!

Annie.....er....I mean Samuel posted a blog with some pictures of Cute Face Samuel.....er...himself (that's his street moniker) on his blog. You can see all of them here.

I've chosen a few gems....and by gems I mean photos that feature me....to post here for your undoubted viewing pleasure.

Samuel and I. My indifference to the drool on my shoulder is indicative that I will one day be a really good mom:


Here's one of Rian and I making a Samuel Sandwich. What? We were hungry. Oh and don't worry, he's not laughing:


I love Samuel's cheeks!

keen on the human baby...

I'm not in any hurry to have kids this minute, but boy do I enjoy holding this one 2-3 times a week!!

the hedgy three!


the product of their love, what what!


oh those cheeks!!


Samuel is learning to distinguish foods from non-foods:


Samuel's favorite animal at the moment is the "seal," or as he likes to call it, "blshhhhb."
