This is Leland Nora Tait, fairly fresh out of the womb. She weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce and is 21 inches long. So far as we can tell, she has brown hair and indistinguishable colored eyes.
This is right after being delivered, laid underneath some sort of amazing heat source and welcomed to the world with a piece of cold metal stuck to her chest. Welcome!
This is Linsey and Leland feeding during her first morning at home. As expected, it was a somewhat rough night (why can't kids just speak English right away?) but eventually Linsey and I and Leland got the hang of it. (Right now, as of 6:55 a.m. Saturday, Mom and The Girl are in bed -- one with a stomach full of colostrum and fast asleep; the other eating up some of the relief.)
We got a little smirk from her, too. Which made us happy.

Oh my gosh, unspeakably cool. Congratulations!!
I love the pic of Linsey feeding her. Those are the greatest moments albeit very frustrating at first. If you get a chance, I would love to hear the whole experience. Birth stories are the best stories around.

Congrats again!
