Introducing Tiana Dawnita

Our lovely little daughter was born at 2:52 pm on Saturday. She was 8 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches long. Her apgar score was an 8.9! She is such a wonderful baby. She is a little squeaker and sneezes at lights! She sleeps GREAT and eats wonderfully. In fact she gained 4 ounces by the time we were discharged today! We love her to death already and so does Keaton.

Our first looks at her.



Meeting sissy. He immediately started calling her Tiati or sissy. Evidently he understood who this little girl was and what it meant to him.


Keaton admiring the feeding process.
She has really long toes and fingers.
Just a little photo that she will really not like years from now!
First bath.

Already gaining weight like a pro.

Cuddling with Grandma.


Keaton is enthralled with his new baby sissy.



Mommy was able to stay last night with Tiana and Daddy came first thing this morning, missing his little girl.






Getting ready to go home to our hotel.


We met Eric and Nicole here at meeting at immediately hit it off. They brought over dinner and helped us celebrate coming home much to Mommy's surprise!! It was WONDERFUL!



Getting ready for bed in her extra special pj's. These were Auntie Dawnita's when she came home from the hospital.
Our big boy and little girl.
We are a very tired little family.

She is perfect!!!
