an emergency stop because little barnabas was whining and squirming! mama stays in the comfort of the van for warmth.


daddy gives barnabas his first bath at home. daddy's face says, "take a quick pic, i want to get to bed." it's been a long day at this point, and we're all exhausted.
now mama gets to pose with the wee little thing, who weighs in at 8 pounds. he loves when mama cuddles him.


... as you can see, he loves when mama cuddles him. he bonded with us easily, and grew very fond of nuzzling his little face into mama's neck. here, i even get a kiss!
