Happy Due Date

9.11.16

The kiddos

John asked when I'm going to stop taking photos of Roc holding Calla.  I think the correct answer is "never."  Especially when Roc is being so sweet.  

Dimples!

I just can't get enough of that little face!

Love

My sweet little Calla-belle

We found Calla's name on a list of nature inspired names.  We had a list of about 5 potential names however from the moment I met her, I knew she was a Calla.  Her middle name comes from Grandma Wells.  

John calls her Monkey because of her long arms/ hand and big feet.  I call her Calla-belle or Calla-lily.  Roc calls her Caroline or Kai (the names of two other newborns born within our circle of friends in the past few weeks) or MY Baby Sister.   

We are pretty happy to have her join our little family.

Sibling love

Roc is slowly getting used to the idea of being a big brother. He makes sure he knows where she is and loves giving her hugs and kisses.  So far he's been very gentle and sweet!!! 

Calla's first day!

Calla Jaqueline Wells

Born September 1st, 3 am

Our little chunk (compared to her 5lb 3oz brother)

We aren't sure where her hair came from either.

Roc meets Calla.  "It's my baby sister, Calla!"  "Can I have a snack?"

His shirt says 'Brave Big Brother' when it isn't folded up.  Aunt Abby brought Roc up to see Calla on the day she was born.  We had dinner together, sang her Happy Birthday and ate cupcakes.  It was a great first day.

Going home from the hospital outfit.  Her brother also wore that tie dye onesie when he came home from the hospital.

Getting loaded into the car.
