Declan Stone George

On Monday we welcomed our little boy, Declan, into our family!  Teagan is SO excited and in love, as are Matt and I.  Teagan is a great big sister so far and loves to give kisses and "gentle hugs" as she calls them.

Here are the official stats:
Declan Stone George
Monday, 4/11/11 7:42am
8lb 1oz, 20.5"

Due to a fast labor and great timing, Teagan got to come meet Declan and spend some time admiring him in the hospital when he was only just over an hour old!

We came home from the hospital on Tuesday and have been trying to adjust to life as a family of four ever since.  Here are some pictures of our little guy and our awesome big girl!

Some additional pictures from Grammy Sue's camera:

Silly Lilly

Teagan had a visit from Lilly and Brad and Kristen today.  She had so much fun playing with Lilly!

Flying kiddos!

Birthday Party

Teagan helped her friend Amelia celebrate her 2nd birthday today.  There were lots of 2 year old girls running around to play with, and Amelia got a slide that was a big hit with Birthday girls and non-Birthday girls alike.  Teagan even got a nice shiner from doing her own post-slide flip.  There was yummy food and CAKE!  Happy 2nd Birthday Amelia!!!

Fun spring party outfit complete with pigtails and bows (borrowed from her build-a-bear!)

Quick picture break while waiting for the slide

Cuteness with her party hat!

Nice scratch and bruise (looks worse than it was - she didn't even cry she 

just jumped back in line for the slide so she didn't lose her turn!!!)

Nope, there was no "hands free cupcake eating contest" - Teagan just wanted to eat hers that way!

This picture is too funny not to post - funny expression as she took a big swipe of frosting on her finger

Baby Brother's Nursery

Teagan has been very helpful in getting her old room all cleaned out and set up for her baby brother.  She has also enjoyed taking over the baby gear (swing, bouncer, play mat, diapers, pacifiers, etc) for her baby dolls.  The furniture was delivered yesterday so we are feeling more "ready" than we were a week ago.  The clothes have been washed and stored in the dresser.  There is still more to do but I wanted to get some pictures before time got away from me.  I am not sure if this is the final home of the crib - Teagan's sat below the cutout animals - not sure which configuration will work better in the long run.

I had to break out my wide angle fisheye lens and get a shot of the room from every angle!  

Can you find Teagan in some of them?

A few bonus pictures of Teagan and her baby playing in the room:

...because baby had "biiiiig poooops" according to Teagan

Playing with Lilly

Teagan played with baby Lilly today.  She was sooo excited for this much anticipated visit.  It was nice practice for big-sisterhood!  Teagan did a great job of not totally smooshing Lilly.  She is going to be an awesome big sister!

Love this one of Lilly!

Apparently Teagan thought her baby needed in on the play mat action!

Lilly was probably staring up at Teagan in this shot!
