Scrapladyandmore: October 2009

Welcome Reese Taylor...we love you!

Tonia and Zack's precious little Reese Taylor Brown was born at 2:11 p.m. on Sunday, October 18th weighing in at 6 lbs. 9 oz. and was 20 1/2 in. long. We were thrilled that she waited until Papa and Nana could get to Austin before she made her appearance!

More pictures added 10-21 so keep scrolling!

Proud and Happy Mom!

Bright eyes...how cute am I!

Oh no...did someone say hearing test!
Something new in Texas...newborns hearing
is tested before leaving hospital. Audio tech
came in and was getting set up for the test
and Dad was holding Reese...we had a big laugh
when we noticed Reese had her hand over her
ear. Reese woke up and the test had to be
postponed.

Proud Mom and Dad!

Day 2

Waiting to go home-Day 3. As soon as
