Makiah liked it when Carly was calm.

Demi....day 2

This is day 2 but actually, Demi is exactly 1 day old.

Demi Aaliyah Schatzman is born!

This is Sophie hearing her new baby sister crying for the first time. We were waiting outside the delivery room door and heard this darling cry coming from inside. Sophie had to wait for her daddy to come get her and she was very patient.

This is Demi Aaliyah. She was born on June 15, 2009 at 6:38 pm. She weighs 8 lb. 14 oz. and is 20 1/2 inches long. She is beautiful. She looks a lot like her big sister did at the same age! We are so happy she is here safe and sound. Happy Birthday Demi!
