Welcome to the World Tanner James Werry!

September 4th at 2:50am I became Aunt Heather to Tanner James Werry!

He is an adorable 6lb little guy and so cute (I love his little nose). I got to see (and help a little with the coaching) the birth. It was amazing and I was so proud of the new little mom in my life: Heidi (and I was proud of Branden too - he was very brave).





Here is the new little family (Branden wore a shirt that said, "I got outta bed for this" - haa haa - he didn't even go to bed that night and hasn't even really been to bed since).


Here are all 3 of the Hansen grandkids (all boys!) My mom is in heaven being a grandma.


Tom says, "This picture proves he is Branden's son" - haa haa. He is such a good little sucker. Just after he came out he was sucking his thumb. He is doing an amazing job at eating.


Poor Preston has been taking the birth of Tanner harder than when Wesley was born. His Aunt Heidi is usually always paying attention to him and giving Preston her undivided attention. Ever since Thursday he has been acting up and when we got visit Heidi he will not leave her alone. The picture of them crossing their fingers is a little thing the 2 of them do - they both try to do things with their fingers that the other one can't do. But in the end, he loves baby Tanner (however, he has not sung about him in the Patty Cake song yet).



When they were deciding on a name, Preston was calling him Pirate Austin from Backyardigans.

So how are the new parents doing - this picture explains it all - they are exhausted! Welcome to parenthood Branden and Heidi. Advice is always given, free of charge by Aunt Heather :)

Heather, I didn't even know Heidi was pregnant! Wow, what great news. ADORABLE baby! We love boys. Let Heidi and Branden know we are thinking of them. Hopefully if recovery goes well he will be back on the court in two weeks to play with Jon again. :)
