Dane Jacob

On June 29th we got to go meet Dane Jacob, my Godson, for the first time. Mom, the girls, & I took a road trip for a few days to Oklahoma. He is absolutely precious, as you can see. He was born on June 10, 2009 at 10:11 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and was 20-1/2 inches long. I feel so very honored to have been asked to be his Godmother! Here the girls are showing him off. They could hardly keep their hands off of him. It's so much better playing "babies" with a real live baby!

Mom had to take her turn! Dane could tell that she was a Grandma and settled right in . . .

Leigh pumped so that the girls and I could feed him. We even got to babysit for a couple of hours while Ben & Leigh (proud parents) escaped for a dinner for Ben's job. How lucky were we?!! We got to take turns holding him and even took him on a walk in the stroller - he loved it outside - almost as much as Rayleigh loved pushing the stroller!

Leigh's Goddaughter (Rayleigh) holding my Godson (Dane) - what a special bond! We got a smile out of both of them in this shot.

Dane's first trip to the community pool proved to be a success - this kid loves the sunshine!
