Welcome Mallory Marie Winkelmann

Mallory Marie joined our family at 1:40 pm on November 18, 2009 weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. and measuring 19 1/2 in long. She is an absolute delight and very easy going baby. A true surprise to both Ryan and I because we truely believed deep down it was another boy; however Dalton continued to remind us he was going to have a new little sister.

I guess we should have listened to him. I was so sure it was another little boy that I washed all Dalton's baby clothes 0-6 mos and they are hanging in the closet at home. A little blue won't hurt will it....I'm sure it won't take long before she will have her own new wardrobe and toys. All those trucks and tractors will have to find a new home.

We are all doing well. Mallory continues to sleep all day and night and we can tell already she will require attention. She would much rather be held then lay in her bassinett. Oh what fun it will be, but don't get me wrong we will cherish every moment.

Here are the first pictures with the family immediately after Mallory was born. I'm actually still in the labor and delivery room.
