Sweet lil hands to hold...and more

Analeigh is 5 weeks old when these pictures were taken by cousin, Janet McCranie. She went to the doctor for her well baby check-up and weighs 9 lbs. and 4 oz..

Plotting To Wrap Daddy Around My Finger

Hmm! Just how can I be so cute and become champion of Daddy's heart?!

Shared Expressions

Sometimes she just looks like the ones we love. I see her Granddaddy's grin. I know their spirits were together in heaven before the Lord sent her down to earth for us to love.

Ruling The Driveway

Beau is the King of the Driveway! He is sporting his NYPD shirt and ensuring law and order on his turf. He's also anticipating the juicy hot dogs and hamburgers Daddy is grilling in the background of this picture.

Home At Last

Analeigh is taking it all in by keeping those eyes open for about 3 or 4 hours a day. She's enjoying her slumber time. She's allowing Big Brother Beau the chance to get used to sharing all the attention he is accustomed to. Mom knows this stage won't be for long though.

My Sweet Love

Beau is so sweet and loving. This picture was taken by my cousin, Janet McCranie, at our Rowe Family Reunion in July. He is sure to be a great big brother. He went to see his lil sister the evening she was born and was awed by her. The next morning Beau woke up Daddy asking to go see Analeigh. Then asked to go see Momma. Since we've all been home, Beau whispers with a finger over his lips,"Analeigh sleeping!" When she has cried, he'll look into her bassinet and tell her,"It's alright." He has daily experience with baby girls as Nanny has four lil girls younger than Beau. His resume is pretty impressive at two and a half and he seems prepared to master Big Brother status!

And Now Presenting....

Miss Analeigh Rowe Collins was born on Friday, September 21st. Sharing sweet pictures and milestones with family and friends of Analeigh and her big brother Beau are our motivation to start this blog. We hope to capture and savor these wonderful blessings!
