My precious nephew was born this past Thursday, and I could not be more thrilled. Atticus weighed in at 7 lb 14 oz and is as cute as could be. We are so thankful for the safe & healthy delivery of this newest member of our family!
My brother & sister-in-law live about 2 minutes away from us, which is a blessing that I cannot even describe. I was thrilled to be able to go & meet this sweet baby at the hospital on Thursday night. Here he is!
so sweet
this was less than 5 hours after he was born - doesn't Ryan look amazing?
happy family
incredibly proud aunt - can you tell?
Today, Atticus got to come home from the hospital, and our whole family was able to go over & visit. Ryan could not wait to meet his little cousin, but he had an odd series of reactions once we got there.
Here is the first series of interactions - he went right over to see him at first, but fairly quickly decided he needed some space and then for a while watched from a distance:
After a while, he decided he was interested again & wanted to touch his toes:
Here's a photo of Mason holding Atticus for the first time. After a little while, Ryan looked at Daddy & said, "Mommy's turn" - I consider it a very good sign that he doesn't mind me holding a newborn!
my & my precious little nephew. Look at those eyes!
While I was holding Atticus, Ryan decided he wanted to come join us... (but not without his grapes):
...and then he decided that he wanted to try holding him:
Finally, a goodnight kiss for baby cousin Atticus. I guess Ryan's warmed up to him after all!
and a few extra photos of my super adorable nephew:
his first time in the swing & he got lost in his hat! :-)
tiny toes!
