Cuddles with Dad

Feeling the breeze on day 2

It's bright outside!

Kangaroo time with Dad

Our first walk--sunset in downtown Kirkland

Meeting her "cousin" Liam who was due 3 days after Isla but was born 4 days before. These two are going to have a crazy good time growing up together!

The new parents (Phil is Graham's cousin)

I think she has Grandpa Joe wrapped around her little finger!

Orienting Isla to music outside the womb

Now Daddy, just imagine her sucking that hard on another part of the body! :o)

Trying out the Moby wrap

Family walk

Multitasking takes on a whole new meaning

Probably my most favorite picture ever!

Isla and Auntie Lani at Uncle Ben's baseball game. Ben, who is 16, wasn't having the best of games. He blamed it on the fact that he "has a lot on his mind" now that he's an uncle. :o)

This is what Graham was most looking forward to....more to come I'm sure!

Isla June Crozier

Isla June was born at 5:45 PM on August 25th. 7 pounds 4 oz, 19 inches, dark brown hair and blue eyes (we think). She's got daddy's hair (cowlicks) momma's nose and lips, and so far a very laid back personality. We're both blown away by God blessing us in this way. She's beautiful.

Isla (pronounced "eye-lah") is a river in Scotland. The name means "island". Her middle name's namesakes are both my Grandma Juna (a tireless servant of the Lord) and my Aunt June. June is also my (Graham's) favorite month as I eagerly await the transition to summer each year, so it felt appropriate for Isla as Kels and I eagerly await the changes and blessings of the new season in our lives that she'll bring. Here's some pics...
just admitted at 1 am after water broke at midnight. already 3cm and 80% effaced!

chilling out with Mom, our RN Helen, checking the monitor

Kels enjoying some "clear liquids" around 1:30 pm. It was easy going and she was really happy (almost giggling) and then the pitocin hit and woh... but 2 1/2 hours later...

and this popped out!

Under the warmer

Proud daddy and bundle of joy

The happy family. I didn't really capture it or do it justice but the sun was beginning to set, flooding the room with warm light. Kelsie, immediately after Isla was born had this amazing glow and was absolutely the most beautiful I've ever seen her.

Baby toes, umbi cord

Our Nurse Helen (didn't get a picture with her face) Didn't think Isla was gonna come on her shift (as was her goal) but Kelsie was such a speed demon we made it work! I was pretty impressed with our nurses, especially our triage nurse Lori, and the day charge Barb, but the whole L&D, Mother Baby was well oiled machine.

First bath

My beautiful wife...keep up those fluids

Happy daddy, wanting to hold his daughter again...

Howdy all, this is Graham doing a "guest" post. We are all doing well. Isla is sleeping well today listening to some Mozart after feeding every 2 hours last night. I just sent Kelsie upstairs for a mandatory nap. I'm going to post as many pictures as I can here over the next couple days
