Ten tiny fingers, that always want to play,
That never stop exploring that wonder of today,
Ten tiny fingers, that from the very start,
Will reach out for tomorrow yet always hold your heart.

| Before it all began. 'Twas not all smiles during... |
 |
| ...but it was moments after. Totally worth it. |
 |
| 5 pounds, 14.6 oz (15 rounded up). About the weight of a dozen Pro V1s. |

| I wanted to see her eyes to see if she was plotting something (she was. Plotting to be cute). |
 |
| Hogging my beautiful girl. Heart turning to mush. |

Mom and baby are doing fine. Thanks to grandma Kay, grandpa Gary, uncle Layton, uncle Ethan and aunt Alyse for coming up. Big thanks to the Cherokee medical staff for being absolutely awesome. And a big thanks to my gorgeous wife for her hard work at delivering Sloane. She is amazing and I don't know how she did it. She's already a great mom.
About this blog: This blog will be a great resource for those interested in Sloane photos and updates (I'd say updates about Jess and I, but let's be honest, you're much more interested in the way cuter, mushier one). Because we're taking a photo about every three seconds, there are going to be way too many to post here. As such, please visit our Flicker account for many, many more: http://www.flickr.com/photos/castle_vandewalle/
My head is still spinning.
Stay tuned, it's going to be a heck of a ride.
Excellent work, the both of you.
ReplyDeleteYou three are so very blessed. Welcome to this world, Miss Sloane.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these wonderful photos. She's so lovely... we're so happy for you! You make a lovely family.
ReplyDeleteIs this a moment! A lovely baby girl and very blessed to have such great parents! I'm so proud. I called my sister in Canada and told her to move over, I'm a great/grandma, too! It's an amazing feeling. I love you.
