She's Here!

Announcing the debut of Eleanor Carolyn Larsen, born this Eleventh Day of July, 2008, at 4:06 A.M. Ella arrived weighing 7 lbs., 10 ounces, and measuring 20 inches long. Mom and baby are both healthy, if a bit tired. Dad is also a bit tired--despite being in law school, this is the first all-nighter he's had in several years.

Now that you know the details, on to the most important stuff--the pictures!
Soon after birth, Ella was taken to the nursery and monitored to verify respiratory health (she was a little stuffed up). In our completely unbiased and objective view, she is the most beautiful child on the planet. Here are some additional shots: 
The tongue-sticking-out thing has to be from Katrina's side of the family. No one from my side could possibly be so rude. :) However, she does smack her lips in her sleep just like her daddy.
