Brady

I was informed that it's been a little while since I've posted pictures of Brady, so I thought I'd put up a few. He is 3 months old now, rolling over, smiling and laughing at his brother and sisters, and one of the most even-tempered babies of all of the kids!

Welcome Brady!

We are proud to welcome Broderick Jefferson Richard Fanco into the world! Brady was born this morning at 8:19 AM, weighing in at 9 pounds even, and measuring 21 1/2 inches long. He has a full head of dark hair and brown eyes, and didn't even cry when he got his shots and blood drawn! He's a very content little man :-)





The funny thing about this picture- it was taken when they came in and told me I needed to push b/c his head was almost out! Notice I'm smiling... that's b/c my first epidural and my second one didn't work, so they gave me a spinal. Thus, though I was fully dialated and his head was partially out, I couldn't feel a THING!

Guess who came to us tonight and told us she had to go potty?! Chessie had her official first "poop on the potty" tonight. Who would have thought pooping could be so darn cute?!

My son Teddy- future drum player!

Check out this movie of the kids singing on Sunday. Teddy should pretty quickly stand out, and Anna walks into the shot at the end :-)

Happy Easter from all the Fanco kids!! (and yes, the girls all have matching outfits once again :-P )

Happy Easter!

The yearly pictures of the kids at Nana and Grumpa Fanco's house for Easter. It's amazing to see how much they've grown each year!

Chuck E Cheese

A recent trip to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party for one of Teddy's friends :-) The kids pretty much hung out with our friends, the Barrys, who have kids that match in age to 3 of ours :-)

Childrens Museum

A few fun pictures from the mirror tunnel at the Grand Rapids Childrens Museum

Anna turns 3

This year for her birthday, Anna wanted a princess party. She asked all 0f her friends to come dressed as princesses, and they enjoyed "tea", cupcakes, and playing princess dolls and Polly Pockets together. It was adorable

Easter

One of the great things about my youngest brother going to college out here in Michigan is that he is able to join us for family tradition stuff around the holidays. The kids enjoyed coloring Easter Eggs this year with Uncle Bradley :-)

Baby Name Hints

So I've had a few requests to post the baby name hints on here as well, since some extended family members only read this sites (and not my Myspace, Facebook, Xanga, etc), so here goes :-)

Remember first, that all of our kids have 3 syllable European names (associated with royalty or nobility), and a 2 syllable nick name (if you call Meg, Meggie).

We are having a boy.

None of our kids' names are in the top 100 names on the national social security index rankings

Hint #1- His name would fit in perfectly with the names of my family members growing up (applies to both the full name and his nickname)

Hint #2- "Not this year, HOPEFULLY next year" (applies to nickname only).

Happy Guessing :-)
