With a loud sound dropping to the ground their new baby daughter is welcomed to the family!
This is Mum cleaning her up just seconds after being born with Dad overseeing...
rather proudly, their first Family Portrait
V2 when she first hit the ground and every giraffe came to see her and help clean
V3 Before I cropped for V1 as wanted a more intimate close up
Thank you to Lynne (LynneJoyce) and Theresa (Ashtree) for the User Awards yesterday
Very appreciated and glad you are all enjoying this series....as Pamela put it yesterday, A Soap Opera
what is to come next, well tomorrow "The First Steps" and tumbles too.
Thank You All
Lillian

So cute. We could learn a lot from animal behaviour. I wonder why we never seem to?? Well captured Lillian
Jenni
Another beautiful selection - what amazing moments you have captured here - v1 is a very effective crop 
Helen
Wonderful. Have you thought of having this series printed as a photo book Lillian? I've done a number of wedding ones using Blurb, but there are a number of companies who do them and they are lovely.
will you ever get this lucky again - I wonder! great series and loving your work Lillian
These are magical, as are all the others. The family portrait is extra-special, but I also love V2 with everyone welcoming the new arrival. Just delightful and so well captured. I have given you my award this week not only for today's stunning images but for the whole series - a series that will stay in my mind for ever. Thank you for sharing with us Lillian!
Carol

Graham

Hi Lillian
Three words Awesome, Beautiful, Excellent.
Regards
Trev.
In this set you show the tenderness of the experience..
Wonderful that you have captured these so well
Should get awards for these for sure,
My star for you
These are bloomin' marvellous, Lillian. The crop of v1 is so focused on the family, and the brilliant white on the head and neck of the mother brings the whole image alive.
Malc
Another stunning and wonderful set, Lillian. Lucky you being able to capture these. Excellent work
Trev

Lovely images Lillian, and what great follow ups to your previous.
John
Great set Lillian, lovely to see the youngster being so well cared for,
Geoff.
Great photography and great vision to compose and crop V1 so well.
Phil.
A brilliant set Lillian, Well deserved Awards for all the pictures..Lin
I'm of the same mind as Keith, I just love the line of the three heads in V1, so unusual and SO clever.
Hi Lillian
A fine set of images!
I feel the 4th version is the best. I prefer the crop choice of the 4th one compared to the 1st image.
Congratulations on your Guest Editor Award!
Cheers
Phil
Wow you certainly managed to get an impressive collection of images documenting this event. I've thoroughly enjoyed viewing each and every one in this outstanding series
