Babies Everywhere!

And now for some lighter news...my sister, Jenny, has just given birth to a healthy baby girl: Taylor Veronica Avila. She was born on February 16 at 12:10am (keeping everyone up late already!) and was 7 lbs 15 ounces and 19.5 inches long. And her social security number is...

She has a full head of hair, which is an amazing sight. I was so bald and alien-esque that my dad deemed me an E.T. look-alike. But not baby T here, she's rocking a sweet hair-do and she's already a total cutie pie just like her momma. See pictures below.


In related news (quite literally, ha), my gorgeous cousin Adele also just gave birth to a tiny little bundle of adorability named Isaac Xavier Jorissen on February 14 at 6:30 in the morning. He was 6 lbs 2 ounces and 20.5 inches long. We've got a little basketball player on our hands! Isaac is googling for us below.


And, to complete the reverse-chronological order of this report, another beautiful cousin of mine, Monique, welcomed Henry Liam Mulvany into the world on November 12 of last year. He arrived at 11:23am and weighed 6 lbs 14 ounces and was 20 inches long. He is no doubt far larger than that now that he's gotten used to having a bit more space than when he was inside Monique's womb. Cutie number three (or number one, depending on how you look at it) shown below.


Congratulations to all the pretty ladies turned mommies and the supportive and happy daddies. We're all so happy to be aunties, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and the other awkward, long winded technical names that are used to describe our relationships to this new generation. I can't wait to meet the newcomers and wish you all rest, health, and happiness (though you'll probably only get two out of three for a while...).
