1 WEEK OLD!!!

RJ's first week was full of fun and dirty diapers! We have forgotten how many diapers that we have to go through. That should come as no surprise to us seeing that his favorite activity is eating. In fact, as we are writing this we have changed his diaper twice. We need to get our timing down a little better. Last night I was holding him and he filled his diaper. I made the comment that it sounded "a little frothy". Our friend called it a "Crappuccino". Ewwww. Enough of the potty talk though, here are some new shots.


All three of the boys have worn this outfit. We bought it in France 9 years ago when we were pregnant with JP. 3 minutes after this picture was taken, he spit up on the outfit. He followed that with a leaky diaper. So much for that!


Future lady killer or a face only a mother could love. Depends who you ask.


Dad and me on a beautiful summer Sunday morning.

The best brothers that a kid could ever ask for. JP and LJ love to hang out and "talk baby" with him.

JP has turned out to be great help. He does not hesitate to pick him up (on his own accord) when crying and pitches in whenever asked.

Our Pod just got bigger, he's here!

After all this talk, look who shows up. I don't know why I'm so freaky about saying names, but I am. I can't say it here. When I finally broke down and asked, begged, for an epidural, I couldn't get one. I just can't believe it. He really does have the happiest, proudest and most dotting big brothers. They just want to hold him and pet him all the time. Yes it's pet him, I think they mean pat, but pet is the word that keeps slipping out.
