A few more photos of Robbie & co.

Robbie's first few days home have been great. I'm sure a lot of that is because my sister, Mary, just sort of makes messes disappear and holds the baby when Jack and Ellie need mom's attention or takes care of Jack and Ellie when Robbie needs mom's attention. I can't convince her to stay for a month. Darn her having a job and a life. My friend, Mareva, took my kids to the park today and I've used my precious time to add to this blog. I can do that instead of nap because Robbie slept through the night but for the one hour I woke him up to eat. Sleep is amazing. Anyway, these pictures came up in the reverse order from how I wanted to show them. So, please scroll down and look at them backward. :)


Bob and his little clone. That would be baby #7 for him, for those keeping track. :)


Again, just because Ellie is cute...


Ellie warms up to baby Robbie.


Daddy and the boys on our first day home. Mom and dad were tired, the kids were not.



Jack has no issue staying still and posing for the camera. Robbie seems tolerant.



Ellie still can't sit still. Yes, Bob trusted Jack to hold the baby all by himself.


Daddy and the kids. Bob also had had no sleep. Ellie can't stay still.

Excuse me for looking so, um, tired. Hadn't had much sleep at this point.
And in my defense, I had just given birth. But aren't my kids cute?


Ellie is so cute and is way more interested in the cell phone than her brother.

Jack and Ellie meet their brother for the first time. Ellie actually wouldn't come to me until Bob took the baby first. She hasn't gotten a lot better about it. Hates to see me nurse the baby. Poor kid.


Robbie and my super midwife, Ann Judkins. She's amazing.


Robbie's first moments as an air breather
