Welcome to the world, Liam!

Baby Liam decided to join us on April 26th at 3:16pm. The labor was pretty quick - my water broke at home at 6:30am and he was here less than 9 hours later. (much different than Kaylin's marathon labor!) He weighed 7lbs,7oz and was 20.5 in long. He also has a full head of reddish/brownish hair! He's a very easy going, laid-back baby. He really doesn't fuss unless you're doing something to him - changing or bathing, usually. And he's taken very well to nursing - yay!

Kaylin is adjusting well. I will never forget how her face lit up when she saw Liam for the first time. It was priceless! She said, "Baby, out!" :) She likes watching us take care of brother, and usually pulls up a stool so she has a better view. She likes to rub his face and head and says, "Hi baby brother!" all the time. Sometimes it's, "Hi brother, baby!" which is even cuter. She's had a few small meltdowns ("MY paci!!") but it's usually when she's really tired.

Speaking of tired, she was up at 5am, so I need to get her down for a nap. Liam is sleeping peacefully in his bassinet. :)
