Introducing….our daughter

Sloane Isabella

8 lbs 3 oz.
21 inches

Last Wednesday a little bundle of squeaky-toy cries, gummy smiles and the sweetest little expressions exploded into our lives.  She came in her own way, on her own time, and flipped our lives sideways in the meantime.

We’ve been learning all of her quirks and facets – how she can hold up her head already and look around, the little fringe of hair over her collar, her one-eyed peek when she isn’t sure she wants to be awake yet, the dimple in her chin, and her way of gesturing and “talking”, just like her Daddy:

We’ve had a busy five days since her birth, with lots of visitors.  She even got to meet one of her Great-Grandmas already.

In this new sideways world I often pinch myself as I realize scenes like this are now normal:

For those who are wondering, Ringo is adjusting very well.  He is certainly feeling a bit neglected, but he really seems to love Sloane, and is very attentive to her.

Hubby and I are truly struggling to find the words to describe how life has changed for us.  No matter how prepared we tried to be, you can’t really understand how it will feel, what will change, what you will accept and what you will struggle with; until it happens.  And even then, we are still at a loss for words.

We were fortunate enough to have our good friend (and our own wedding photographer) Heather Cook Elliott there to document Sloane’s birth story.  We will have a blog post coming soon with her images and more of the story.   Until then, back to babyland….
