tales of a three day old..

I never thought the day would come! she's here! she's here!

LOLA GRACE CLIFTON decided to join this crazy world after 36 hours of labor (fashionably late) at 5:25 pm on June 26th, 2009. 

weighing in at 7 pound, 11 ounces...and measuring a WHOPPING 20.5 inches (english people don't know if you know our wacky metric system)

In true first baby form the camera's have been snapping paparazzi style...NON STOP, so we are in no shortage of pictures of our little nugget. 

Her hobbies so far include, sleeping, eating and pooping. so, we already have very high hopes for her. Here are some shots of her first days of life...thanks for the love, support, texts, phone calls, messages, it has been an overwhelming week, but we can't wait to talk to everyone and brag about our little lola!

First few minutes of birth...flipping the bird...clearly her fathers daughter!

Proud grandma ! Lola singing a high C...pretty good pitch. 

Morning we get to go home! has him wrapped around his little finger already...

Dad's first swaddle...

I mean....REALLY? really?

Grandma celebrating her first grandchild the Italian way...GO MOM!

another first. Her first rasberry...

*internal monologue...enough with the cameras!!!!"
