Baby Link is HERE!

Elise was so very excited to meet her new Baby Cousin Link yesterday. He was born at 2:01am on 9/6/10 (yes, Labor Day, haha!). He weighed 7lbs, 9oz and was 22 in long! Aunt Sasey went in about 4:30pm and had a pretty good labor overall. We're so glad he's finally here!

The Happy Family
Elise meeting her sweet cousin!

The proud Auntie!!


The little snuggle-bum :)


Lacy and Jayme will be taking their new joy home on Wednesday and settling in to family life. Link's Daddy already had him in camo when I went to see him today--ready for his photo op with the hospital! I got him to open his eyes...but with a grumble of irritation that I would bother him! We're all absolutely in LOVE with him!

Toybox, Baby Link, and Cruising

As usual, Nan kept Mommy updated on the goings-on while Elise was hanging out at their house this month. She snapped this gem whenever Elise and Poppy were wore out from lots of fun playing!

And in a rare change of events, Poppy was able to get this great pic of Elise and her Nan getting some cuddle time in too! Nan and Mommy often talk about how the Moms and Grandmas are rarely in pics with the kiddos because they're usually the ones with the camera!

Elise has been very lovey with Aunt Sasey and Baby Link lately. She's ready for her cousin to come out, but she is back to cuddling with Aunt Sasey (for a while there, the belly seemed to weird her out!) Here, she had both of her Melmos there for her and Aunt Sasey to cuddle.
Elise was very excited to get a "new" toybox. We dug this out of Mammy and Po-Pa's basement--it was Mommy and Aunt Sasey's when they were kids. It still smells a little musty, but at least her toys aren't scattered throughout the living room now...most of the time!
Daddy and Elise were both really excited to get to bring the Corvette home (FINALLY!) Elise had a great time playing in it while Daddy did some work this past weekend. I think we're in trouble when she is old enough to drive--she already enjoys "pretending" so much!

"Let's roll, Daddy!"
