Welcome Baby Charli!

On Friday morning my sister-in-law Sarah was scheduled to have a c-section to deliver their second baby...a little girl named Charli Suttyn Bandermann.  The c-section went smoothly and around 8:15 Charli was born!!  She looked JUST like Ansley when she was a baby.  It's so exciting to welcome a new cousin, and since Brynn and Charli will only be 14 months apart, I can't wait to watch them become such sweet little friends!!  It's so crazy because Pam and Rick (Ryan's parents) had 3 boys, and now they have 3 grand-daughters!  Here are some pictures from the hospital.  

We got to the hospital around 9:30, so at this point Charli was already born, everyone is just
waiting until they can see Sarah and the baby.

Brynn hanging out with Miss Laura (Sarah's brother's wife), and Pamaw and Papaw

 I kept trying to get a picture of her shirt.  It says "I'm the big cousin!"  This shirt has become a little family tradition.  Ansley wore it to "tell" some of Ryan's family that we were pregnant with Brynn and that she was going to have a new cousin.  Then she wore it to the hospital when Brynn was born.  Then Jason secretly put the "cousin" shirt on Brynn to tell us that they were expecting baby number 2, and so then Brynn got to wear the "I'm the big cousin" shirt to celebrate Charli's birth.  Whew!

You might think Pamaw has the new baby, and that's what Brynn and Ansley are so interested in.
But nope...it's just snacks!  HA!

Ansley, Jansen (Sarah's brother's little boy), and Brynn
They were watching the nurses take care of all the little babies.
Too cute!

Waiting to see the baby got a little tiring...the girls
had to make a big mess!

Uncle Jason...PROUD DADDY!

Brynn did really well at the hospital, except for right after this.  HA!  Ansley, Jansen, and Brynn were waiting so patiently and playing, but then she started running up and down the hallways.  Then she grabbed a little "caution, wet floor" sign and drug it down the ENTIRE hallway.  A nurse came up to me and was like "ummm, she can't have that.  We need to put it back."  I had NO IDEA where Brynn got it from!  AHH!

BIG SISTER AND LITTLE SISTER

We left to get lunch and take Brynn home for a nap, so we didn't get to hold baby Charli.  The next day Sarah was craving some Burger King and a big Dr. Pepper (HA!) so we brought Aunt Sarah some lunch and FINALLY got to hold that sweet baby!!  So these pictures are from Saturday.

Brynn kept wanting to WAVE at her!  HA!

Our friends, the Greene's, were also at the hospital, so Brynn and Bella
had fun playing together.  Brynn was sharing her "kazoo!"  HA!

Charli - we love you so much already and can't wait to watch you grow up!
