We welcomed sweet Ila into the world March 25 at 1:53am. She was our smallest baby at 7lbs 2oz. Jo is in honor of her aunt ("Peace Becky Jo") and her grandpa and great grandpa, who are both Joe.
So far she has been a complete angel. She has had 2 or 3 rough nights, but besides that she will have 3 four hour stretches through the night. I can't complain. Last night she even had a six hour stretch.
Her siblings adore her. I have the best little helper in Eva. She will get me anything I ask for and lives to hold Ila! She is the only one who doesn't get tired of holding her after one minute. Colby loves to nuzzle and kiss Ila and whisper to his baby. Lilia likes to just be close to her. I laid Ila on the floor a couple of days ago and Lilia just laid by her and played with her cheeks. Lilia is also a big fan of Ila's binkies, which is driving me crazy since she hasn't had a bink in months.
I can't find our camera from the hospital so all I have for now is pictures from my phone. (Mom and Tina, could you email me some of the pictures you got?) Thanks to Grandma Boise for staying with the older kids while we were at the hospital.
We're all in love with our baby. It always amazes me how quickly it seems like there was never a time before them....if that makes any sense. It's the middle of the night and I'm nursing, so lots of this post might not make sense.
Our first family picture with the babe, we never got one in the hospital.
Funny thing, Jason took this picture tonight, after I had already typed this up.
