Daniel is a BIG Brother!

Daniel, Ben, & I are thrilled to announce the arrival of a much anticipated Baby Sister!

Welcome to the World...
Annabel Kathleen
4/14/11
7:59 AM
7 lbs. 15 oz.
20.5 inches

Of course Daniel came to meet Annabel right away! He was so sweet with her- I was impressed. We talked a LOT about babies before she was born, why they cry and what they need, and of course we had her lions already picked out to share with her when she gets sad or when she sleeps. I'm sure Daniel didn't know what to make of the reality of baby sister, but we'd already practiced saying her name so he was able to tell everybody right away what her name was. He says it so cute, too!

Without further ado...Meet Annabel!

We were pointing out the parts of her face...just like Daniel's face!

Toy cars and trucks kept Daniel entertained for the rest of his first visit!
