Christmas 2008

Christmas at our house (celebrated early)

Ashleigh has a fever, so she's a little out of sorts, but is happy with the toy. Courage is opening her version of the same toy. They are both toys that go on the refrigerator.

Josh and Isaiah, which one's which?

Courage holding baby boy

This is Courage's first attempt to hold Isaiah. Ashleigh was a pro by now.

This is Ashleigh's first contact with hospitals and baby brothers. She was so happy to have her own real baby.

Here is Isaiah getting his first bath.

Isaiah Matthew Hightree

Isaiah weighed 8 pounds 6 oz, was 21 inches long, and had a 14 inch circumference of his head. He was born at 10:30 pm on Dec 4. Kyra and Josh came home this evening, so their hospital stay was about 24 hours. So far Isaiah seems to be resting well. His cry isn't booming, either, although he definitely can let you know when he isn't happy. He is healthy and very red, probably partly from skin irritation from the fast delivery. His nose isn't smashed at all, and is very cute. He is a fine looking baby, if I may say so.
