Party of 5


On June 3 we welcomed our little boy, Ethan Charles, into our family. He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and measured 19 1/4 inches. Once again, we were reminded of just how small a newborn is. How easily we forget!

We all made it home from the hospital and are now on Day 2 functioning as a family of 5. Avery has been a super big sister and is so proud of her new little brother. Yesterday she asked to hold Ethan for the first time. I said "Sure, come sit right here next to Mom." Her next comment was "I sure hope he likes flying through the air." Maybe she can hold him later...

Things have been surprisingly par for the course around the house. We just have a newborn to feed every 3 hours, Mom isn't getting much shut eye and the family as a whole is spending a lot of time in our pajamas. Maybe we'll graduate to getting dressed next week...
