P.S. For those who missed the arrival post, this is “Loyabelle,” born July 12, 2011 at 2:25 PM, weighing 8 pounds 6.1 ounces, measuring 21 inches, with brown hair. She’s perfect. Baby and mommy are healthy. Yay!!!
Loyabelle is, of course, baby #3 for Becky and me. Tomorrow is the 2nd birthday of #2, “Loyacita.” She and “Loyette,” 3 1/2, will meet their little sister tomorrow morning. (For the uninitiated, those are not their real names. They’re Internet nicknames.)
Here’s a video of Loyabelle yesterday, just a few hours after she was born:
Rocky Top???
On such a historic occasion you should be wearing Trojan colors..
Loyabelle’s gaze at your shirt screams out for a caption contest.
“Well at least it’s not Volunteer orange….”
Hmmm … so daughters #1 and #2 did not get to be present for the arrival of daughter #3 ?
First, let me say congratulations! I’m off to start investing in DIck’s ammunition stock–I get a feeling there’s going to be a run on it in 12-18 years. (“My daughters are joining a nunnery. At age 13. I know what their mother looked like as a teenager.” “Relax Mr. Loy…if Casey Anthony can walk, surely you can craft a self-defense case!”)
However, yeah, I’m with Gahrie. Perhaps the reason Loyabelle is giving the infant “WTF?” look is because we all know the _real_ Brendan would have worn either Notre Dame or USC colors to his child’s birth. Babies can always sniff out a body snatcher or cyborg…just sayin’. (Retort: “Babies vomit and poo, sometimes both at once. Why would I wear a good Trojan or Irish shirt?”)
Alasdair–Some places don’t allow anyone under the age of 10 or so in the maternity ward. Not to mention, I’m thinking I’d want to be able to concentrate on the new arrival as opposed to the 2 and 3 y/o who may be getting rebellious due to lack of attention. Besides, ya gotta give the defense time to prepare…I mean, siblings time to get ready to welcome their sister home. 😉
