Time for the unnecessary almost naked pictures

Once again we are taking full advantage of our duties as new parents. We are stripping our daughter down to next to nothing and taking some pictures that she will be ashamed of in about 15 years. I am prepared for her suffering and embarrassment and hope that you are as well.
The pictures progress from when she realizes what shes in for, to the point where she accepts it and is happy once again.

It's Game Day at the Newell House


After a week and a half of being parents we have already starting dressing our child up in crazy outfits that make us happy, and Ava mad.

No child is complete without a full outfit for the Green Bay Packers. Here Ava is sporting her Packers onesie that is obviously three times too big for her, but it's the playoffs and she wants to support her team.











Now, let the record show that I tried to put that pacifier in her mouth but she was not having it. She is getting her rest for the big game, she has already expressed her concern for being able to stay awake during the whole game so Big Daddy will be there to help out.








Ava is already very confident in her good looks and not afraid to show the world. She is already learning how to pose for pictures and put her best side forward.










I was at work when this outfit was brought out and documented. I was not able save my daughter from the ridicule that this picture will bring to her later in life. She is obviously upset about the whole situation.









Once again, her parents are a lot more excited about things than she is. Very unimpressed.

Viewer Discretion is Advised Pt. II
Today we are continuing our study of family origins. This section we will cover the Thompson side of the family. The exhibits are not as distinct as the Newell family, but exist none the less.


Exhibit A:
Please note the wide mouth and ruby red lips. Some have asked if we have put lipstick on her, and nope, thats all natural buddy.

Exhibit B:
Mama Thompson has donned a special mask to keep from getting infected by the, "cute virus." This is a special strain of virus only found in combinations of Newell and Thompson genes. (Mama actually had a little cold, hence the precaution of the mask)

Exhibit C:
When I first observed this obnoxious red coloration to her feet I thought she had a rare case of some terrible terrible disease, upon further inspection my suspicions were validated.
An IU fan, gross.

Exhibit D:
This is our first family photo, once again Ava is a little upset about the camera being on her. This biggest Thompson trait that we see here is that she is truly a girl. Newell's are know for their inability to procreate a girl.

Exhibit E:
Here we see the family resemblance clearly. Little Ava is having a scream because it is becoming all to clear for her. Three pretty girls regardless.

Exhibit F:
Our final piece of evidence is the pure pink outfit and matching hat.

Viewer Discretion is Advised
Below are some pictures that may be disturbing to our younger viewers and the weak at heart. Some people may be asking themselves, "Jonathan, there is no way that baby is yours she is too cute and awesome." And I must agree, she gets a lot from her mother but below are a few pieces of evidence that yes, this child has some Newell genes.




I submit to you exhibit A:
Upon inspection of her cranium she has clear signs of the Newell hairline, party in the back but not much doing in the front.
Please join us in a prayer vigil that she will soon develop the long locks that she needs for success in the real world.


Exhibit B:
Notice the elongated toes and feet. If you know her daddy closely you are aware of the horrors he has hiding under his shoes. On the plus side she will be a natural at barefoot water skiing. This poor girl will be subjected to unknown horrors in her teenage years.




Exhibit C:
An uncanny resemblance to a long line of Newells. Upon waking she is just as upset and groggy as "Big Daddy."






Exhibit D:
Newell's are known the world over for their impatience in the car. This comes from seemingly endless trips to Montana, Florida, etc.






Exhibit E:
And our final exhibit for the Newell likeness. Always camera shy.

Another installment of pictures from the Nashville land. Now I know what some of you are going to say when you get to some of the pictures and yes, we are ruining her life with the pacifier. But, she just looks so darn cute with that thing!

Moms tend to be a little awestruck when looking at something that used to be inside of them. And just think, this is all just a product of random evolution! Give me a break!
Nothing to say about this one except this is the cutest picture I know of.
Pictures of little Ava getting her weight checked. I know girls are insecure about their weight, but I didn't know it started at 5 minutes old.


Now I know what most of you are thinking, "Jonathan you shouldn't be teaching your child gang symbols so young." Well the answer to that is, Yeah yeah I know, but I'm her father, I'll do whatever I want.
Yep, that's the international signal for, "on the phone." Girls start young on the phone.
