Baby Girl is officially all ours!!!!

As of Nov. 24, 2009 Baby Girl has become ours officially. Janet and I went to court to finalize our adoption for Baby Girl. What a blessing this is for Janet and me.  Baby Girl is the best thing that has happened to us. She is God’s present to Janet and me,  since we were not able to have kids of our own. Here are some photos taken from the Courthouse on this special day!!!

This is a photo of the Judge and our new family.

My parents, Janet and me and of course Baby Girl after the finalization.

My parents, my Aunt Barb, Uncle Ken, Janet & me with Baby Girl.

This is a photo shot during the court finalization.

This is the Judge giving us a Barn yard book for us to read to Baby Girl as a gift.  She is going to love this book.

This is our Baby Girl showing how happy she is after the court hearing was done and everything was finalized.

This is our Case worker Laurie holding Baby Girl, and the Gal next to them is Jennie(the birth mom’s case worker) before the court hearing.

The court gives each adopted family a bag of goodies.  In this bag was three stuffed animals, a couple books, a photo frame, and a disposable camera.  Here you see Janet showing Baby Girl the Teddy Bear that was in the bag.  I just love this photo.

Here is my Aunt Barb holding Baby Girl while she meets a new friend and her Mom.  This little girl was also there to finalize  their adoption.  They had the most fun together.  There were a total of 6 families at the Courthouse to get their adoptions finalized on this very special day.

Look how baby girl is holding on to the chains.  I did not put her hands on the chains for the picture.  She is just a natural at swinging.

Moby Dick…

I know you are probably looking for new photos of babygirl, but this past weekend I caught a very big fish.  It was a Largemouth Bass, and it weighed 6 pounds and 5 ounces.  It was 24 inches long.  The biggest bass I think I will ever catch.  I have only seen this big of a bass on T.V.  Here are a couple photos of it.

Baby girl is growing up so fast…

I am sorry I havn’t posted any pics in a long time.  I have been working a lot at work lately, and when I get home from work I have been watching baby girl so Janet can have some down time without her after being with her all day.   She went to the doctor last week for her two month checkup and she now weighs just under 14 lbs.  and 24 inches long.

Baby girls first doctor’s checkup for a newborn…

Janet and I took baby girl to have her first checkup since leaving the hospital.  She is very healthy, says Dr. Peter.  She has a little joundes, but not enough to have to test her for it because she is eating normal and has good BM’s.  Dr. Peter says that having her in some sunlight will also help.
