She’s here! She’s here! Little miss Lydia Alex made her debut in June – as I predicted – on my son’s 15th birthday!  He was so excited to learn that some of his favorite people made him a birthday buddy! 😉 Lydia’s appearance has been long awaited on this blog! First we did a sweet winter baby announcement at the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth and then we had a stunning maternity session near Fuller Gardens in Hampton.  But nothing compares to the sweet, soft, perfect bundle of love that we can all snuggle with now!

She was absolutely a perfect model! Hands down my favorite. A favorite of my favorites. I can’t even put into words how much this little girl makes me happy.  And how happy her parents’ happiness makes me too!

After a good long snooze she woke up to have some meaningful stares with me.   I’m not a big fan of “pink” (ie, not my favorite color) but I LOVE the pink and grey nursery theme.  And the polkadots and chevron.  And the baby. Oh wait, I said that already. 😉  She zonked back out and stuck her tongue out at me.

And a few pictures of the new, complete family!
