We welcomed our baby girl Ali Louise Leman on 11/3/11 at 7:59am. She weighed 8lbs and was 19 1/2 inches long. Her full head of dark hair took her mommy by surprise, but not Daddy - he had predicted it a few weeks before she was born:). Brock and Kyle absolutely LOVE her, and can't seem to get enough turns throughout the day holding and kissing her. Here are some pics of her first few days:
The proud brothers. They were quite intimidated the first time they saw Ali. I was still in the recovery room, and they came in to meet her after she had her first feeding. She needed to burp and cried - ferociously - for almost the entire time they were in the room with us. Brock did give her a kiss and touched her head, but Kyle would only touch her - no kisses at first:).
They came back later in the day and she was much happier, and they bonded quickly. Watching them hold her for the first time was definitely a highlight for Mommy and Daddy. They are such good big brothers!!
There are multiple pictures of each boy with Ali - as per their continual requests for us to "take another picture of me holding her".
Brock giving Ali snuggles - he loves to put his head down next to hers.
Even closer yet:).
The proud Daddy. He says it will not be any different having a daughter, than it has been with the 2 boys. I say he's already a little smitten with this little girl:).
Snug as a bug in a rug - as the boys say:).
Mommy and Ali - ready to go home.
Sweet kisses.
She has some very funny facial expressions:). I love that about babies!!
And, she has a good set of lungs:). She definitely lets us know what she needs!!

Kyle and Ali - they are both good baby holders:).
