Derrick Richard Knox (Post 3)

Group 3 went after naps and dinner.

The Cute Group

(Jared, Becca, Willie, Conner, Savannah, Cody, Kimberly)

 

Brian is catching on to this daddy thing pretty quickly.  :-)

Meet your new teddy bear from your cousins, little Derrick!

We're ready to hold him!  Is it my turn yet? 

Cousins!

Aunt Becca and Derrick (with Cousin Willie looking on)

It seems Group 3 failed to get a picture of Jared (actually, he was probably the one taking most of the pictures), and Cody didn't hold Baby Derrick.  Therefore, I think I'll close with this other picture of Cody.

 Derrick gave Aunt Bethy a demonstration of his lung power.

He was trying to tell her that she's his favorite aunt.  :-)

 The pro at quieting crying babies - He's done this a few times!  :-)

Derrick Richard Knox! (Post 1)

Pictures, pictures, and lots more pictures!

We split into 3 groups to go meet Derrick so the new family wouldn't be quite so overwhelmed by having 13 visitors all at once, and to give them a chance to rest between visits too.  It also allows the baby-holdings to last a little bit longer for each person (which is definitely a perk!), and helps keep younger ones from getting bored and tired while they're just waiting around for everybody else to get their turns.

(Mom, Heidi, David, Zachary)

I thought I'd open and close this post with a somewhat artistic photo (vs. actual baby picture).

I thought this one was a good one for the head of the post.

And at the foot of this post, I thought this picture would serve nicely.
