drumroll please .........

I'd like to reveal my latest project, one that has been 9 months + in the making:

Ian Andrew is here!!!!

Our little one (he turned out to be not so little at 9lbs 7oz!) finally made his awaited appearance last Tuesday morning.
He is doing quite well, eating and sleeping and enjoying the Moses Basket. He also has a remarkably loud cry (our apologies to the neighbors).

Some of the things I love about him so far:

• the full head of hair (Emma was nearly bald until she was 6 months, so having an infant with hair is a new experience!)
• the dimple in the center of his chin (not sure yet what family member that came from)
• the gassy little half smiles
• his funny little ears
• the way he puts his hands over his head when he sleeps

and those are just some starters.

Our little family is getting to know the newest member, resting up from the interrupted nights and loving every minute of it. :) I had almost forgotten how wonderful newborn smells and sounds are .........
