Bridget's Baby Came Out!

After months of anticipation, watching Bridget's belly getting bigger and bigger, praying for Bridget's Baby, and talking about whether it will be a girl baby (to be named Greta, according to Sean) or a boy baby, Sean was thrilled to hear the big news last week, and ran around the house saying "Bridget's baby came out!"  BTW, it was a boy baby, named John.  He told me a few weeks ago that when Bridget's baby comes out she will put a hat on him and give him breastmilk.  He's a perceptive little one!  We had the pleasure of witnessing Baby John's baptism last weekend (amazingly, 7 days postpartum-- whoa Mama!).  I was on family camera duty during the big event, so here are some shots from afterwards:

BOYS!  Greta and Mairn, we miss you girls! 

Book Club.

He he he, while those older boys are over there reading their books, I've got first dibs on the only girl in town--Baby Cora.

She is soft and cute.

One thing I love about Cody is his soft spot for newborn babies.  While many men might shy away from holding the 7-lb-ers, or leave it to the women to fawn over them, Cody always gets right in there and asks to hold the baby, then usually sits peacefully with the babe for a good stretch.  He's great with newborns-- he's certainly our baby whisperer around here.
