I'm pretty sure new baby's are a big deal in any ones family, but I will say they are a HUGE happening in ours! Maybe it's because timing wise they have been so spread out.. or maybe we're just a loving family that dotes over all our members. who knows :)
We had all anticipated meeting baby Zander for the first time and we finally got to.
Our first long distance baby, we had to wait almost a MONTH before we could meet him in person. Chris had sent us a play by play of his 6 hour (LUCKY) birth, and Brittany had since been sending us numerous pictures of is every move...but its not the same until you get to hold him and talk to him.
He is a keeper that is for sure! sweet sweet cuddly little guy and we all love him so much already.
The hype of it all was almost more than Lily and Kellen could handle.
Mimi would talk about him every day they were at her house and they would talk to Brittany on the phone and see pictures of him and hear about him. So it was of course adorable the first time both of them got to meet him. Lily reminded me of exactly how she was with Kellen when she held her 'baby Kellen' at the hospital. So serious and so loving.. at that moment nothing else in the world mattered to her. priceless.
and Kellen was about the same way. He was excited and giggly and ready to pose and smile for pictures. He sang to him and played the harmonica for him. so priceless
He held his little hand and kissed him on the head. I couldn't help but think that this is what it would be like if we had brought home a new baby sister or brother for him. He would be so loving and so proud... he would be my little helper!
The newly added to T family is doing great.
They are planning to move back home within the next few months and we couldn't be more pleased. Kellen and Zander will be great buddies.
He looks a lot like Brittany as a baby. Same hair line and eyes.
looks like his Momma!
My brother is a proud great uncle. We are both 'greats' now.. makes us sound like we're in our 60's.. goodness.
My sister...aka Gigi.
The thought of her as a grandma has just cracked me up since day one.
Granny Tiff was personally my favorite nickname for her.. and Roxie. that one gave us a good laugh.. but she is settling into Gigi quite nicely. She's a proud grandma and dotes on him and wants to hold him the entire time. Very supporting to Brittany, and I'm proud of her for the friend to Brittany and grandma to Zander she has turned out to be.
Ashton is a natural at this baby thing now. She was timid with Kellen, but she has it down pat for Zander. I think she realizes that its like anything else she sets her mind to.. she can do it !! We were remembering her long delivery all those years ago. sigh
Ash is like me, she will be so happy when they finally just move back home.
And Angie joins my brother and I in the ranks of the 'greats' department.
She loves her some Zander too!
We were stoked to finally meet him and get to visit with them.
The weather was too cold for very many outdoor pictures, but we
managed to get some cute ones.
He's a keeper!
