Introducing...

Calla Nell Holder!


She was born Sunday, July 20 at 10:54pm weighing 7 lbs. 11 oz. and measuring 21 inches. She was a little stubborn in coming...she was a week late, came 24 hours after my water broke, and had to be helped out with the vacuum. I guess she was too comfortable! Luckily she hasn't been a stubborn baby. She is eating and sleeping well and hardly ever cries. We came home yesterday so Grandma got to spend some time with her at home before she went back to Portland. I am so grateful that she and Cyd were able to be here last week. I would have gone crazy without them. Of course the irony in the whole situation is that my water broke a few hours after Cyd got on the plane to go home! So much for planning. Luckily we will see Cyd and the rest of the my family as well as Curtis' family in about a month when we head out to Portland, San Diego, Vegas, and possibly Utah. Here are a few pictures from her first 3 days. We lover her so much and can't imagine life without her!

Saying Hi!

Heading home

Happy family

Playing with Dad. Curtis was a little nervous cutting the cord. He got a little close to her toes with the scissors!

Loves from Grandma

Curtis is excited about her big, receiver hands!

Cozy in bed
