Absolutely stunning. I actually forwarded your page to show my Mom just how cute she is. I love those dark eyes. Love her with all your might man. Before long she'll be walking and talking. =)
Unfortunately not a lot of babies come out looking beautiful but yours certainly did...she is gorgeous! Congratulations again. Naps are like gold to new parents!!!
Oh, Ryan, she's beautiful! You both must be so proud and happy to have this time to bond with her and with each other and with LB.
Still sending lots of love to all four of you. Best wishes to Cole for a speedy recovery, to LB for getting into the groove of big brotherhood again, to Tessa for all that napping and growing she has ahead of her, and to you for falling in love one more time =)
She's gorgeous! I'm so glad to see Cole sleeping...Mamas need so much rest yet have a hard time finding it. Naps with babies are absolutely the greatest.
I've turned into a bit of a stalker. I check this site several times a day to see if there's an update. Thanks, so much, for sharing this with all of us.
Oh my gosh, she is just absolutely positively to DIE for!!!!! And Cole looks so beautiful napping with her beautiful baby girl. Congrats to the littlest buddy! I bet he is a great big brother. Congrats on a beautifully successful home birth, and congrats on entering the world of parenting bliss!!!!!
ps.....you never get this time back.....soak it up like there is no tomorrow :)
oh my goodness how sweet is she! i love the napping photo...brought back memories for me- i wouldn't let my little one go for anything and we'd sleep together during the day just like that.
Nine years later she still tries to fit into the same spot even though she's 5' tall.
Ryan and Cole: Thank you from your friends on the internet. You have shared the most special moment in your lives with all of us. Tessa (beautiful name pick, by the way) is absolutely gorgeous, with those dark eyes and head full of hair. Your hands will be full!! Congratulations to the both of you and LB. And thank you again..
Congratulations! I've been following your blog for a couple months. I too am pregnant (33 weeks and counting) and looking forward to a home birth.
Seeing Cole and Tessa napping makes me dreamy :) I can't wait to experience that myself. You guys have been a great inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing!
Ughhh, my heart just had a major ache.....I miss that so much. My babies sleeping on my chest. Cole looks so content! The baby is beautiful. Hope little man in handeling the huge change well. I'm sure he just loves the baby!
Ugh. You and stephanie and your baby blogs. So cute. You'd think my biological clock would tick a little faster when I see adorable pictures of happy family and newborns, but nope. I've decided to virtually adopt yours and her children and live vicariously through you in the bloggyville, as I continue to blog about how drunk I get every night. This works for me.
this is probably too personal, but i want to say how proud i am of cole for choosing to give birth the way she did. when i learned that my own mother chose to have me in a birthing chair without any drugs whatsoever, i was overwhelmed and impressed by her completely selfless love. i'm sure tessa will feel the same or similar when she's old enough to understand.
I just started reading your blog a couple months ago--I'm 36 weeks pregnant and just marking time now. I felt so tremendously comforted and excited by your story. We can't wait until our baby gets here. Looking forward to the big birth story posting.
Wow. Normally I think babies are really creepy looking, but yours is absolutely beautiful. One of the most non-alien like I've ever seen! :D Congrats again!
The link you posted on twitter... it's in Chinese. Just pop the link into http://translate.google.com/ and it will translate. S/he just says you're a good photographer husband.
Me again, your internet stalker :) The link you posted on twitter is Chinese. After consulting with my Korean friend and my Vietnamese boyfriend, I was told it's Chinese. But you probably already knew that ... A detective hard at work but had to get down to it :)
I am honest almost to a fault, and you know this almost more than anyone.
So believe me when I say that this child is the prettiest babe I have ever seen. She doesn't look like Winston Churchill, she looks like a tiny little elf. That nose, those eyes!
Great job on the genetics, and she looks so much like her brother.
My love to all 4 of you. Isn't that number perfect??
omg she's beautiful.. we all need another tessa fix now!! she's so adorable, cant believe she's finally here! congrats again.. excited for some pics of LB and Tessa!
I know I already commented, and I've only been reading a couple months and commenting sporadically therein, but I just keep coming back looking for more updates on the family =) I'm not a stalker, I swear, but this is one of my favorite family blogs. I love the photographs, I love that you and Cole are so in sync with one another, and I am still just so happy for both of you and LB. I cannot WAIT to hear more about little Tessa and see more pictures and learn more about this new life as a family of four.
The waiting is turning me crazy lol.
Also, I hope you guys all have a very happy Independence Day weekend!
Now those 2 photographs just made my uterus ache. And I have never before used that phrase, but it is exactly what happened. My youngest (of 3) is only 8 months and I have no desire to be pregnant again anytime soon (and if hubby has his way, we're done anyway), but my god, I felt a strong longing just now. Enjoy it; it goes by way too fast.

So, so beautiful, and oh GOD that second picture! I'm dying from the sweetness.
I'm going to go have unprotected sex with my husband right now.
So amazing! Great photos and they both look so happy.
There are no words!!!!!
AWWWWWWWW!!! I vote for more more more. I'm having a rough rough week and this in a strange way is making me get through it. Thank you!
Hope LB is bonding with his little sister and doing fine sharing his mama.
Can I be adopted into this gorgeous family of yours? I'm trained and won't talk back, really :)

There is nothing more perfect than a newborn sleeping on your chest. Nothing.
That second shot might just possibly be the most perfect mother/baby portrait I have ever seen.
K.
Absolutely Beautiful!! Congrats to you all!!
Soooo sweet!
She could teach Tyra Banks a thing or two about smiling with your eyes.
Oh cuteness - she's so adorable!
Ughhh, my heart just had a major ache.....I miss that so much. My babies sleeping on my chest. Cole looks so content! The baby is beautiful. Hope little man in handeling the huge change well. I'm sure he just loves the baby!

Duuuuuuuuude. Poke holes in a box, stick that baby in it, and mail her to me.
Beautiful couple of ladies, you must be proud as punch.
I CANNOT believe how much that baby looks like her mama - her nose, her lips, everything! Is that even possible?! It's unbelievable!!!
this is probably too personal, but i want to say how proud i am of cole for choosing to give birth the way she did. when i learned that my own mother chose to have me in a birthing chair without any drugs whatsoever, i was overwhelmed and impressed by her completely selfless love. i'm sure tessa will feel the same or similar when she's old enough to understand.
