And now the pictures

Well, I haven’t done a good job of narrowing down the pictures, but here they are…

I LOVE this picture of Damian!  I’m pretty sure this was right after we discovered that we had had a boy.

Such a tiny little finger to have us wrapped around already

Keanan’s first visitor (same as Ellie’s and Charlie’s) – Auntie Hillary -- who promptly discovered that Keanan has not one, but two dimples

Ellie and Charlie both started giggling uncontrollably as soon as they saw the baby

The next day, Auntie Jamie and Uncle Eric brought Ellie and Alex up to the hospital to see the baby (Hillary stayed with Charlie and Aubrey) and Ellie was super excited to hold Keanan.  The day before, she sobbed (and sobbed!) when it was time to leave and she learned that she couldn’t take Keanan with her – such a sweet big sister!

DSC_1059Keanan’s favorite place to sleep – the vibrating chair.  After sleeping for no more than 15 minutes in his bassinet the first night, he has slept in his chair every night.  Thank goodness Costco carries batteries!

Yes, he's VERY handsome, so sweet!! I can't wait to meet him--I didn't have a clue how long to wait to visit--I figured our MOMS group has become so HUGE, if we all came to see you right after, you'd be completely bombarded!!!! But I also don't want to be the only friend left who hasn't met the sweet little guy so all of that rambling to say. . .just let me know when you can stand yet another visitor to meet your newest sweet addition to your family :)

He is just PERFECT!!! You are a serious ROCK STAR and I am so thankful that I was in town. We love the Hirst 5. And, these pictures are just so precious. Can't wait to see Keanan's adorable dimples again:)

Adrienne and Damian, It is an absolute joy to watch Ellie and Charlie accept Keanen as one of their own. It is a huge testament to your gentle and loving car. Charlie and Ellie have been such a great duo and I know Keanan is going to make it a perfect trio. To see your relaxed and, oh so incredibly competent parenting makes me so proud of you both.
