We meet Babies....

I'm not sure about ya'll, 
But it seems that this past month there have been babies being born left and right!

I personally have acquired TWO new nephews and
One adorable little niece!
All born over this past month!
(Okay, okay... not a niece by blood, but having been friends with her mother since we were in diapers gives me Auntie bragging rights I think)

I of course had the opportunity to meet these beautiful little babes at the hospital.  My kids unfortunately had to wait until the timing was better.  

My kids were able to first meet their new "cousin"  Pretty lil' Pearl...and they were EVER SO EXCITED!
I was fortunate to take newborn photos of her (post about that coming soon to my photography blog so watch for it) and the kids tagged along with me so they would finally get the opportunity to love on this precious little girl.

Sam's first time holding baby Pearl

They were a bit nervous.
I think this is actually there very first time to hold a baby all on their own.
They were absolutely smitten over Pearl, which gave them even more desire to meet there other two new cousins. 
Soon after leaving they began making the requests to meet the other two little boys (one of which was only a couple days old at this point.

Little Wyatt (the oldest of the three newborns) unfortunately lives in Davis county so visiting him isn't the most convenient with everyone's busy schedules.  
On the 4th of July however we had a family BBQ planned with that side of the family, which meant we got to see Baby Wyatt too.
It's all the kids could talk about for days before.  

Once we got there we all immediately flocked to lil' Wyatt who just so happened to be down for a nap.  DARN!
We did eventually get our chance to love on him...
Brenna looked at him, played with his little hands, and kissed on his little cheeks, but didn't want to take the time away from all her other cousins to hold him.  She was content just looking at him.  
Sam however was ALL ABOUT holding him.

I even handed him off to Bill for a few minutes.
Though I got the stink eye from him, he talked and played with him and really enjoyed him just as much as the rest of us. 
Bill cursing me out to Baby Wyatt (in baby talk mind you).

Awe, so tender.

I'll admit it.
I kind of ended up hogging little Wyatt once everyone else got a chance to hold him.  I am so baby hungry it isn't even funny.
Considering I can't have anymore (frown, tear, a whole lot of sadness) I had to love on him as much as I possibly could in an attempt to satisfy that baby hungriness. 
Yeah, didn't work...
Just made me want to take him home with me.

I haven't blogged about him yet so I have to give a lil' introduction.

I present to you the newest lil' newborn in our lives...
Quinton Vick Vaca
Or as we call him "Baby Q"
Born: June 28, 2012
@ll:17pm
7lbs 9oz
19 1/2 inches




And of course you can't forget the very proud BIG brothers...

Brenna and Sam didn't have to wait nearly as long to meet Baby Q, but that's only because they live right down the street.
We gave my sister and her family some time to settle in and adjust before invading their space for our own personal benefit.  
I remember the feeling of just getting home,
and though you have much love for your friends and family that family bonding time was one of the ultimate highlights of the new baby experience.
After a long, hard, and trying pregnancy, my sister and her family deserved to have that time alone.
I respected that.

After about a week we got to go over and love on him too.
Sam was perfectly content just looking at Baby Q and playing with his little hands...
Brenna was feeling a little cheated after not having taken the opportunity to hold baby Wyatt and so she jumped right up on the couch and held out her arms for Baby Q.

Baby Q even decided to greet us with some adorable smiles.

How could you NOT melt over that face?

Our family has been extremely blessed this past month.  I hear that it is baby season, but we haven't ever been given three beautiful angels in such a short time.
We are grateful for them, 
and we are loving every minute of it.
