Noah David Doeff

During our four blissful days in silence at the hospital I kept whispering to Noah that before he knew what hit him our snuggle-fest a deux would be interrupted by

non-stop kisses and hugs
and endless touching and cuddling from his older siblings.
Luckily for all, Noah is proving to be a very calm baby, taking everything in stride thus far. I'm just sorry he slept right through the 0 year birthday party held for him once he and I were back home.
Now all that remains to be seen is how he adjusts to life back in Gabon where we'll try to keep him awake for his 2 week birthday party...

Noah is here!

Here's a shot I took looking down at Cecilia and her little brother about 2 months pre-birth:

Here's Noah and me just a week or so pre-birth:

And here he is weighing in at just over 4 kilos at 12:05 on August 24, 2007!!
