New Gun

Before Symantha was born I ordered a new manual pump that I can take with me everywhere. I was unpacking it when it arrived and Ben was watching intently. Finally he asked me.

Ben: Mommy, I want to shoot your gun.

Me: Um . . . NO! This is not a gun. And it's not a toy to play with. Please leave it alone!

A few days later I found him standing by the window with my "Gun" shooting the birds. At least he's an innocent boy!

BURP. . . . what!?

Ben is such a good helper. He loves to help pat Symi's back to burp her after I have fed her. This is the conversation that went down.

Ben: Come on Symi burp.

Symi: (Well she farted really loud)

Ben: Mom, was that a fart!?

Me: Yes. She farted Ben.

Ben: Symi that's the wrong end!

What do you find after lunch time?

After I had cleaned up lunch I ventured upstairs to see why everyone else was so quiet. This is what I found! They are all so cute, I just love them all so much.







I guess it's hard work having a baby!

Family

Sleepy girl.


Ben wants to hold her every morning! He's so cute because he'll also ask for us to take a picture of him holding his "Symi Lynn".


Just relaxing.


Oh Hi Mom!


Daddy just loves his baby girl!

Welcome to our World!

Welcome to Symantha Lynn Hepworth! Born on July 28, 2009 at 12:54 pm. Weighing in at 7lbs 7oz and 20 inches long. She came out crying and full of life, but quickly calmed down once she heard her Daddy's voice. I'm only posting a few pictures for now. I will tell the "Labor Story" next time. We are both doing well and are happy to be home and getting into a groove. So far she is a great eater and sleeper! She is such a joy! Ben is always watching over her, talking to her, and sharing EVERYTHING he has with her. (example: toys, food, sippy cup, blankies, "mee-mee's") He loves talking to her and holding her hands. Ben is also constantly complimenting her on her cute clothes, pretty eyes, and saying how cute or beautiful she is. We hope you enjoy the pictures! There will be more coming soon.

Getting Started!






Proud, excited, and giddy Daddy!






Brand New!







To: Big Brother Ben
From: Your Symi Lynn
I love you and just wanted to show you with some new toys!



Ben wanted to tell her "Thank You" for the toys right away.


Holding his sister for the first time!


Absolutely adoring his sister!
Ben: "Ohhhh! Mommy she's so cute!"

I'm sorry that these are all tiny. But these are from Dane's parent's camera. So I thought I'd share them too.
