This is Ryan's new way to describe how tall he is - I had to document it here so I won't forget. He wants to be tall like Daddy, and we know he is growing quickly now. But when we mention how tall he is getting, he is quick to explain that he isn't tall yet - he is "a little of tall". Too cute.
We are all doing well - Thought I would do a quick update with some pictures...
Here is Ryan in the hospital helping out with Eric's bottle
All packed up and ready to go home!
We found a Santa hat and Ryan now loves to be "Santa" and wants us to sit on his lap. We figure the only one that won't crush him is Eric, so here he is asking Eric what he wants for Christmas :)
Eric was delivered by cesarean today at 10:38 am. He weighed in at 8lbs 11.5oz and 20 inches long. A big child to say the least but he was actually 3 ounces lighter than Ryan. I am very pleased to report that he has all the right pieces in the proper locations. We will be in the hospital until Thursday. Please enjoy your first look at our new baby boy.
Daddy being silly before going into surgery...note the super stylish color :)

Big Brother!!! Ryan was so excited to hold his baby brother with his "wing". He was just absolutely fascinated with his little brother. Bonny Doug
