Baby J

 

Ella's baby brother, John Robert, was born January 23 @ 1:07pm, with just two pushes and a hello. Baby J weighed 7.5 pounds and measured 20.5 inches, and looked absolutely adorable in his Wheeling Hospital fatigues. Welcome to the Wild & Wonderful, baby!

 

Welcome to this World, Love Your President

Introducing Baby Brother William Bernard

William Bernard

(Named after Grandma Aileen & Grandpa Smith, two beautiful, caring, people we love.)

January 1, 2012 @ 12:45 am
8 pounds, 11.5 ounces & 21.5 inches long

Perfect in every way!

William was the first baby born in the Ohio Valley in 2012, which, of course, is a very great honor (with no prizes included *unhappy Mama*...). So we made the news...

Trumpets, please...

Announcing the newest addition to the Wal*fam, and the most recent edition to Zaney's Zoo Krewe:

Ms. Charlotte Eileen

Born December 9, 2009 @ 5:51pm

9 pounds, 5 ounces

To celebrate we had a party, and Alexander peed on the carpet. He was so excited, he couldn't help himself!

Jenn & Mike couldn't decide what to name their bundle until they met the adorable, dark-haired darling. And Charlotte it was.

Charlotte is a Bingo Bob family name & Eileen is our wonderful, loving grandmother.

Unfortunately, I wasn't there with Jenn for the delivery. It was terrible to be so far away on such an important day. But we figured that the most responsible and useful thing to do would be to go to Carlisle to help with the other kiddos when Mike goes back to work on Monday... I'm not sure we can wait that long. We need to meet Charlotte NOW!

It's a boy! The first 2 months home
