Photos Galore #2

Alex and Darren catch some shut eye before going home from the hospital.

Mum and baby share some quality time in this priceless (sorry, adjectives must abound when talking about babies and mums) photo. We spend a lot of time just looking and listening at/to eachother.







A very alert Alex checks out mum and dad.




















Another mug shot...

Sleeping is where Alex really shines. She's also great at feeding and provoking the dog to endless sniffing. The latter skill comes to her seemingly effortlessly.

















Oh, and did I mention she's an expert cuddler? Here she is showing this talent off. Makes you want to try it, doesn't it?
















Our friend Barbara enjoying the cuddle. Rayleigh (the dog) only spared Barb a few minutes to lavish attention on the baby, as Barb was one of the first surrogate care givers to Rayleigh last spring. Since then, she gets especially wound up when Barb drops by for a visit.
