first introductions...

Mommy's send off yesterday.... (see you on the other side baby!)

Here are a few pictures of our first introductions with little Elijah Paul Baldry, born at 1:22pm today (June 11th). We just "knew" it was going to be a boy this morning when discovering he shares a birthday with both Joe Montana and Vince Lombardi!

Papa Tom was the first visitor to arrive
(anyone that knows Papa Tom...does that surprise you :-)
He's getting braver....holding little Elijah within the first few hours of life!


Of course he also enjoyed introducing his little princess to her new baby brother...


Noah played coy at first...

But warmed up quickly to his little brother...

He even took the role of family photographer (trained under his Uncle John John)

And then there's little Hannah... "baby...baby...baby".
She can be a little spit-fire, but put her baby brother on her lap
and she is very gentle and loving... (for now)

Thanks Auntie Sharon, Noni and Papa for visiting us today!
Looking forward to making more introductions over the next couple of days!

Nite nite baby Elijah....sleep tight!
