On July 11th, the Bourque's from Georgia flew in to meet their new
Grandson (and nephew). After three weeks of unbearable waiting, the first meeting
was quite emotional! |
Grandma Bourque (who shall hitherto forth be called
"Grammy") had a tough time putting the little guy down--can you blame her? |
Okay, Grammy, you've got to share with everyone. (The fact
that these three pictures were all taken within a couple of hours of eachother might give
you an appreciation for how many clothes Noah goes through in a day. . . amazing.) |
In a moment of genius, Grandpa Lee distracted Grammy with the
old "Look. . . over there!" trick and snatched Noah for a moment. |
Next was Auntie Lauren's turn, but only after her desperate
plea "but I don't know how to hold a baby!" |
Noah's thinking, "hmm, maybe she really doesn't know how to hold a
baby." |
It didn't
take long, though, and Lauren was a pro! |
We caught him in rare moment where somebody wasn't holding
him--if only those arms were just 2 inches longer! |
Well, that didn't last long. |
On July 15th, Noah finally got his first REAL bath! The water
was quite a novelty at first (as seen here), but after 3 minutes, he decided
all-of-a-sudden he wanted out of there! |
We just can't get over just how cute this picture is! He's
quite photogenic, wouldn't you say? |
And yet another first. He found his thumb! If he's anything
like his daddy, it'll be years until that thing finally gets unstuck. |
The title
for this one is "par for the course." I'm giving Grammy a hard time, but she
really did share--honest! |
Life without
Noah in her arms was too boring for Grammy, so she decided to dig up all the clover we
worked so hard to plant in our flower beds. |
That night,
Dan and his dad tried their best to make pancakes--well, if it didn't look like pancakes,
at least it tasted like pancakes. . . |
