Gus' Newborn Session

My friend Kelsey from Blue Trillium Photography captured our little newborn perfectly. Here are a few of my favorites:

Mom mom and Amelia

These two have been a huge blessing all week by cooking, cleaning, and wrangling. I don't know what I'm going to do without them! Go slowly crazy maybe?

Trudy has so much fun with her big cousin.

Happy [exhausted] family!

A Trip to the Park

We ventured out of the house today for the first time in a while. Mom and Amelia played with Trudy while Gus and I got a couple of laps in (with a meal break in between. ;) )

Riding the swing like a "hehe"

Imaginary play food

Gus wasn't happy in the shade. Bring on the warm sun!

The Beardo

Dave is channeling his inner mountain man and can't wait for cool weather now!

Hi from Gus

We slipped outside for some pics this afternoon. He wasn't too happy about the mild temps.

Notice his blanket has pink in it? That's what happens when you have a big sister and a crappy mom. ;)

 Sleepytime is all the time. So why aren't we getting more sleep??

Welcome Baby!

William Augustus Gervens is here! Born September 17, 2012 at 10:37PM. 7lbs, 5oz 19 inches after only 3 hours of labor. Fun story. ;)

We were a little disturbed that he didn't look like either one of us. Today we brought out our baby books and realized he's a chip off the old block!

Minutes after birth with our amazing midwives who we kind of threw for a loop. Nothing like staggering in the door of the birth house and delivering 20 minutes later.

Trudy trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Her first reaction when she saw him up close was "Baby's toe paint is gone-gone."  Yes, yes indeed. Permanently "gone-gone." ;)

Chilling at home with Dad.

Licking the Bowl

If you didn't lick the bowl after Mom was done mixing, you didn't have a childhood. Come over to my house and Trudy might share. :)
