Introducing







yes, I know it was about time
and no, it's never take us this long to name our babe before
thank you for your patience
...most of you {grin}

baby boy love

10 days old
deeply loved


occasional thumb sucker
swoon worthy lips


sleeps with us
wakes twice a night to eat


only heard you cry twice
starting to smile


nursing perfectly from the start
beautiful silky brown hair


8 days old and went on your first trip to the city
nursed in the sling at Target


wearing small fuzzibunz
hasn't spit up more than a drop


Vance holds you the most out of your 4 big brothers
9 lbs on our home scale


easiest recovery for mama
milk came in at 30 hours old


have yet to have your first bath
perfect smooth skin

umbilical cord fell off at 7 days
spend most of your days in my arms, in the sling or in your siblings arms


first 5th in the family
still nameless but hopefully the last day


oh so loved
in every way

words of the week

just a little of what I've heard from the kids this week...

He's a boy and he's ours!

Mama, your belly isn't flat... maybe there is another baby in there!!!

Oh, I love him soooo much mama.

He's the cutest baby boy ever.

God made him so-so-so perfect.

I like him more than you mama.

Let's call him sweet baby boy forever.

Mama, where is your belly?
pointing to baby Oh there it his. giggle 

He smells like sweet candy.

He's milking you.

Can I hold him, can I hold him, can I hold him...

I love him more than anything ever.

He is heavier than I expected.

He's our baby boy forever and ever and ever.

God gave us the best gift ever!

Can we play house with him?

I'm so in love with him mama.

He's so cute, I can't believe it!

Babies are such a special surprise.

oh his hands are so tiny, I love them.

Can we have another one?
