Elizabeth's Expressions Video



We found an opportune moment to capture some of Elizabeth's facial expressions while she was sleeping in her Mommy's arms. Daddy especially enjoys her little squeaks.

Sleeping with Mommy

Taking a bubble bath.


Does she have the smallest butt you have ever seen or what?

Elizabeth is calm right after her bath because she just soaked Daddy with her pee!

Three generations of women.






Look how small her hand is next to Daddy's.









She is so small!









She sure is strong. She is trying to arch her back while being fed. What a wiggle worm!








Elizabeth likes being swaddled, but does prefer her arms being left out of the blanket, so she can suck her fingers.






The following pictures are from a photo shoot we did today:

New Baby!







Introducing Elizabeth Adela Akers to the world!




Elizabeth was born on October 26th, 2008 at 7:38PM. She was 6 pounds, 11 ounces and 19.25 inches long. She has been a joy ever since. She does typical newborn things and Elizabeth's parents do typical new parent things - but all are getting along just fine and we are all growing together. Even Elizabeth's big brother Gus is enjoying getting to know her. We have really appreciated all of the calls and visits that family and friends have provided as well as the generous gifts and time that have been put into bringing Elizabeth into the world for us all to enjoy. More pictures are below as we know that is what you really want to see anyway.





Mommy and Baby meet for the first time (outside the womb).



Proud and emotional daddy!
