Announcing Cora Irene Buchholz!

Our new arrival is finally here! This will just be a quickie post with the essentials while we adjust to life at home with a new little one...

Cora made her way into the world at 1:07 am on the lucky date of 8/8/08 weighing in at 7 pounds 8.5 ounces. She is named after my maternal grandmother who passed away while I was in college. We're all doing well and happy as can be (though a little sleep-deprived!). Larson is handling the adjustment of having a baby sister as well as can be expected for any toddler. He's full of questions about what she's doing ("Why is she crying?" "I want to see that thing on her belly button again...") but definitely has apprehensions about having to share the spotlight. Fortunately his Nana is here to shower him with attention and help a little with getting things in our house going again. Here are some of Cora's first photos:

Getting her first shampoo - where did all that dark hair come from? Definitely different from Larson's bald newborn head but equally precious.

I will try to publish more details and photos soon but for now it's time to catch a little sleep...
