Welcome Baby Sylvie Jane

On July 17th, our wedding anniversary, our 4th family member arrived, Sylvie Jane Cooper.  She was 3 days early and born here in a Dutch hospital.  She was 3.45 kilos (7 lbs - 9 oz.).  We don't know how long she is as they don't measure right after birth.  We have to wait until she is 6 weeks old and has a check-up.  

  
Archie is adjusting well to the new addition to the house.  He ignored her for the first day and ignored me for a couple days.  Every once and awhile he gets a little needy for some mommy-time but that is to be expected.  He is busy being a toddler and beginning to express all the great toddler behaviors.......we have tantrums, time-outs, and different expressions of frustration happening on a daily basis.  So he doesn't have a lot of time to pay attention to his sister.  Here are a couple more photos of Archie.  He is still a character and making us smile every day.
