Sophie - Day 1

Well it was about a week and a half longer than Jamie had hoped, but she finally got rid of the watermelon that was residing in her mid-section. On November 21, 2011, Sophie Ellen Held introduced herself to the world at 1:20 PM.

The labor and delivery went off without a hitch, at least from Dad's perspective.

Sophie weighed in at 7 lbs, 11 oz. and was 21 inches long.

After her first bath, which she did not particularly enjoy, it was time...

...to meet big sister Mallory. Here is the first photo of the new and improved Held girls.

It didn't take long for Mallory to settle into her role as big sister.
