Gavin meets his new sister

I'd love to say Gavin was completely enamored with his new sister when they first met, but that would be a bit of a stretch.  He did pretty well in general, but certainly had some mixed reactions.  The next few months will be interesting to say the least!

This picture says a thousand words.  Pretty hilarious.  This makes him look like he is ready to kill, but really his reaction wasn't this harsh.

These pics were a bit more indicative of his overall reaction and I think they will end up being great buddies.

Ruby Kathryn Ausband

Ruby Kathryn Ausband was born today, November 28th, 2009 at 4:39am.  Our little girl weighed in at 7.00 lbs. and was 20 inches long.  Mommy and baby are both doing great and getting some much needed sleep while daddy posts some pictures for all to see.  She was able to get an hour and a half feeding session in before her weight was checked so she got to plump up and beat her brother out by 1 ounce.  He was 6lbs 15oz.

We'll of course post more pictures in the coming days.  Enjoy!

"I did not ask for this!  Put me back"

Awwww!

First "bath".  She really enjoyed this!

November Pics

These are just some random November pics. The first is Gavin in Daddy's snow boots. The second illustrates Gavin's love for ketchup! The next is a power lunch between Gavin and his best bud Jack. And the last pic is Gavin in the ottoman. He loves it in there!

Halloween

We took Gavin to Colfax Boo and Brew (sans brew in the daytime) to mingle with other little creatures (and big!). He had a great time and got lots of compliments on his Mickey outfit. He loved the music and also liked the butterfly hat our hairdresser wore!
