Our first post...it goes on and on and on

Welcome to the west coast Hock Family Blog! Now that Seth and I have something interesting enough to display for the world to see (thank you River) we can finally join in the ranks of bloggers - this is very exciting for us : )

Needless to say, I was HUGE during the last month or so of pregnancy. To say I'm thrilled that part is over is an understatement. This photo was taken 1 week before River's arrival. Yikes.


River was born on July 18th-a full moon baby. Here I am in labor and...

...OUT! Stunning, I know. At least Seth was coherent at that point.He got cuter as time wore on. The first few days...


Then it was brought to my attention by River's Aunt Manda that he has an uncanny resemblance to Alfonso Riberio more commonly known as Calrton Banks...do you think?


Here you have Aunt Manda performing a little trick she learned at a how to quiet your baby seminar. Yes, River survived but no more leaving both babies with her!


All snugged up in his moby wrap.
Looking a bit suspicious...






River finally got to meet his grammy and pappy. They flew in from PA and were here for a little less than a week. River seems to love his grammy's voice already.
I think he liked his 2nd bath a lot better. Must be gramma's touch!


Very fond of his dad...
but not so fond of the cow outfit.


River's new mobile, which he LOVES. Cheap entertainment. Thanks grammy!


River and Me, just chillin'.

I'm confused, and perhaps creeped out, by this pic of you in labor on the large ball...it's also good that you have some diversity in your family.
