I guess it's a common pattern these days when two-income families add a new-born.  The first few months are hectic, maternity leaves or not.  The house is invaded by grandparents, 7x24 until the routine is worked out.  Such has been Shari and Doug's lives through August and early September of 2007.  It wasn't until late September that the Baker family had a chance to pull out the digital camera and catch a few "candid" shots of just the immediate family.  Here are the best from that time.

Working different shifts, Shari was able to catch this snapshot of the rest of the family early one morning.

Addie is trying to tell Mom and Dad something .....

..... but it doesn't look like they are "getting it".

Their reaction is really funny, sometimes, when they don't get it.

Daddy's girl still needs her rest, often.

It's Sunday, it's NFL playoff time so Dad dresses Addie in her "Sunday Best".  (Well, "Sunday Best" in Dad's opinion!)
