We met our little guy at 11:16pm on April 30th.
[These pictures were taken yesterday, the day we brought him home from the hospital. The weather has been a dream here this week--warm and sunny--so we have been spending a lot of time in the back yard. The sun really brought out his red hair and beautiful skin. He is so precious!!!]
 |
| The red hair was a complete surprise! It turns out that there IS red hair on both sides--Bryce's Dad's side of the family has red heads and my Mom's dad had red hair as well as a couple cousins of mine. Maybe we shouldn't be that surprised! |
He weighed in at 7 lb 8 oz and 20 inches long.
 |
| She is so curious about him. She loves to get really close to his face and nuzzle her face into his. She loves to pull his hat off, see his hands, and fake cry when he is crying. She gets very concerned when he cries. |
Everyone is doing really well and it couldn't have gone better! It was a safe, healthy, and fairly quick delivery.
We are absolutely in love with him. Madison is adjusting well and I was much more worried about her than I needed to be. He has been a great eater and we are all getting used to having a sweet newborn around.
I'll be back with details on his birth story.
Incredibly sweet photos. Maddie's hair even looks red in that last pic! He is soooo handsome. Move back here right now.
