Baby

Our newest little boy

arrived on January 3 at 9:46 p.m.

after a short and smooth labor.

He's tiny yet big,

weighing 8 pounds 1 ounce

and measuring 22 1/2 inches long.

He has been perfectly healthy

(Which is a relief since the rest of the family

has been suffering from a nasty respiratory flu)

and is a peaceful, easy baby.

I am attempting to get my fill

of baby cuddles, tiny fingers, softest skin, and downy hair.

Also sleep.
