more birth photos

Here are a few more pics from our photographer.

The first one is right after I pulled Anna out and up onto my chest. We didn't even know she was a girl at that point, I just pulled her up and hugged her to me.

First kiss from daddy

Think she looks like her brother??

Anna Elizabeth

Anna Elizabeth Cook was born August 15th at 8:55 pm. She was 8lbs 1 oz and 20 inchs long. We're all doing well and I will post more pics once we get settled.




We had a photographer at the birth so I will post more pics from her when I get them. Here are a few that she sent me already :)

making more sauce!!

Aunt Vicky is in MI to help with Josh until the baby is born. Mike decided it was a good time to make more sauce since he could put her to work in the kitchen ;) Josh was really excited to help with the tomatoes again!

chitty chitty bang bang

Josh was watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with Mike and Aunt Vicky and he was having a ton of fun dancing around like they do in the movie.

checking the mail...

Josh likes to help me check the mail. He does a very thorogh job of making sure there is nothing left in the mailbox :)

Making sauce with daddy

First batch of sauce for the season and Mike is teaching Josh how to help process the tomatoes! I love the look of extreme concentration on his face!!

few cute pics

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, there's a lot going on here to get ready for the baby, and very little picture taking... Hopefully in the next few weeks, this blog will be jammed with new pictures of Josh and his cute sister or brother.


Josh, hanging out on the birthing ball... he thinks it's HIS toy and mommy has a hard time getting it away from him, lol!



He loves to chew on monkey's tail when he sleeps and this is how I found him this morning...

riding his bike

Josh has finally figured out how to ride his bike. He's still not great at pedaling and steering, but he's getting better!
