Dear Aunt Heidi, Uncle Eric and Aunt Cozy

Both Abrielle and I are ready to poke our eyes out over my photography skills. We sure wish you were around to help us out. 

 

I'm getting good at catching grumpy faces and ugly green binky shots...

 

And looks of annoyance...

And one eyed squints...

Uncle Eric just told me I needed some practice but I think it's quite obvious I didn't inherit the photography gene (nor do I own a Nikon).  Which Is too bad because there is so much cuteness to be captured. 

After like 100 photos I gave up on getting a good picture and Miss Abrielle and myself went to bed. 

For now we'll just have to dream of the good old days when my siblings were close and great photos of my kids were abundant, because the truth is we are all stuck with my photography skills now, and all I can do is offer my sincerest apologies for butchering just about everything!

Abrielle Elizabeth Giovannoni

The Mr. and I welcomed a beautiful and healthy baby GIRL to our family February 2, 2013 @ 11:06 pm. She weighed in at 8 pounds 3 ounces and was 20 and 1/4 inches long.  

 I think she has her daddy's eyes and forehead...

And his long long fingers...

And look how long those feet are!

 She was also lucky enough to inherit her daddy's long long toes too.  Sometimes I consider telling people my children are born with 20 fingers, because I've never seen toes that are as long as fingers before. 

She's another bald beauty.

Well almost bald...She has a little bit of dark hair.

We named her Abrielle (think Gabrielle just drop the G) Elizabeth Giovannoni, 

She might hate us forever for giving her a name that is 27 letters long,  but I look at it like this, we can call her Abbie, Brie, Elle, Liz or Beth all of which are short right?  

She is an ANGEL baby,

We cant kiss those chubby cheeks nearly enough!

We are all smitten.
Our little family is complete.

Interesting side note:
The Mr and I were married February 1, 2002 : 2-1-2
Dylan was born on the 2 (of May) : 2
Livie was born the 12 (of November): 12
so we have our second set of 2-1-2
Isaac was born on the 21 (of March): 21
and Abrielle came on the 2 (of February): 2
and those two complete our third set of 2-1-2.
2-1-2 must be our lucky numbers.
