Seattle Patriot

It’s been TOOOO LONG!

I could offer lots of excuses, but let’s just get to the pictures! 

Blake has been all over the city, which his parents have been capturing nicely, but these are a few I managed to get with him at his home (first smile?!?!) and when he (and the rest of the family) came out to support me at my softball game.

In June we traveled to Wisconsin to see my aunt Lindsey get married - what a wonderful affair!!

And some more great ones of Blake…

   Adorable bedtime!

(Above) In the Onesies I made for him that don’t even fit him anymore!

Getting de-robed…

(Thinking: Aw man, they’re taking blackmail pictures already??!)

We welcomed Blake Victor Cressey into the world on May 28, 2008 at 10 PM. He was a whopping 7 lbs 8 oz, and 19" long, with blue eyes (which we think will soon become a beautiful brown).  He has been delighting his friends and family already (including aunts, cousins, parents, grandparents and GREAT-grandparents!), and has proven himself to be quite photogenic!! Proud parents are taking Blake home today, and he’s looking forward to seeing his new digs and trying on some of his new wardrobe!  Here are some photos from his first, second, and third days with us:

Blake has been trying to come out (and Em has been trying to get him out!) for about 24 hours.  She’s working like a champ and we’re hoping to have him with us out in the world very very soon! (Like…TODAY!)  We’ll see if he complies. Pictures and more to follow…

Anna, Mom, and I threw Emily a baby shower this weekend which was fabulously fun! Everyone was overwhelmingly generous, and gave wonderful advice. I felt so fortunate to be able to get this advanced preview into this wonderful life that is motherhood. What an amazing opportunity! We can’t wait to welcome Emily and Ben’s little baby boy bundle of joy into the world ANY DAY now!
