Baby Boy Meets The Family


Dear Baby Boy,

You wouldn't believe how many people ALREADY love you! On the day we brought you home from the hospital, Grandma Linda arrived for a visit from Washington. She took wonderful care of you and whispered lots of encouragement for strength and a wonderful life in your ear.

A few days later, your aunt and uncle, Katie and Leo, came to visit from Las Vegas. All of us went to the beach -- you went to the beach a total of four times in your first 9 days of life. Not bad! Everyone enjoyed holding you and was very impressed about what a calm baby you are. You don't like to have your diaper changed, but other than that you're pretty chill. Oh, another thing people always notice about you is your big feet. I wonder if that means you're going to be really tall.

Your grandma Denise and granddaddy Hal really wanted to see you, but they were going out of town and decided they had to wait until they got back. But then they couldn't stand it anymore and so they drove 2 hours to meet us at the beach and hold you for two hours -- and then they had to turn around and drive back home. I promised them I would tell you about that and you'd appreciate it some day.

Here's a nice photo with you and Grandma Linda. She left this morning and I'm sure she already misses you. I don't know if you can tell, but Zadie is lovingly patting you in this photo. She likes you and thinks you're quite the curiosity! I wish I had a photo of your other grandparents visiting with you at the beach, but we'll make up for it later.
