Introducing Jonah

A new baby in the Halpin/Cody family is a much anticipated, celebrated event, as is evidenced by the happy mob of people hanging around the waiting room. By the time the little one actually makes his/her appearance, everyone is in such a state of excitement and wonder. It is love at first sight all the way around as each family member greets the newest addition. What joy it brought me to introduce a brand new Jonah to his loved ones.

I could not wait to introduce Jonah to his big brothers! These Boys had been talking about this baby, planning for him, praying for him, wondering about him for months. The looks on their delighted faces was enough to absolutely melt my heart. Pure joy!

Both Boys were thrilled with their new brother and kept telling him, "We are the best Big Brothers ever!"

Next up: Gramps and Yaya. They were beaming with love and happiness over their newest grandson.

Jonah makes grandbaby number ten for Gigi and Papa, but each and every one is loved in such a special way. Joel was happy to meet his newest nephew.

I love this picture, even though only half of DeAnn's face is showing. Elliot seems pretty pleased with his closest cousin and new bff.

So, welcome baby Jonah. You are loved by so many already. Many thanks to all the people who dropped everything and rushed to Baylor to be a part of Jonah's arrival. It meant the world to us to have each of you there to celebrate with us.
