Officially welcoming Theodore Charles on the blog! Teddy has stolen our hearts and is just the sweetest little (big!) newborn. Born May 16th at 11:53pm, he weighed 9.8lbs at birth and was measured at 23 inches long. He made a speedy entrance with an intense three hour labor for mamma. He has been everything you hear about a third baby, very easy going, sleeps a lot during the day, just a chill little guy. He is also a little bit of a laugher, he is often heard laughing during the day. He really only fusses if something is bugging him (rare) or he wants to EAT! He is a super big eater, still eating every two hours usually at night. I think he needs it though, because he is HUGE! He is already looking as big as Oliver was at 3 1/2 months and his is only 10 weeks old. He weighed in at 14.1 lbs @ only 6 weeks old. Marissa and Oliver LOVE him, as in total obsession. Marissa is all over him all the time and Oliver is always wanting to hold him and talks about when he and Teddy will play together, too cute! He's going to have to wait just a little bit on that one:) I really hope they are as close as Marissa and Oliver are. Things are really going much easier than I ever would have imagined, this is not to say that I am not flat out exhausted by 8pm, hence no blogging, or that our lives have now entered a new level of busy, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Teddy has made me realize that your heart is actually capable of growing to love even another child just as much as the ones you already have in such a special unique way. I have been so enjoying the newborn cuddles, noises, just every little thing that a newborn does. I love me some babies. I'm so excited to watch you grow Teddy and I'm so curious to see what little person you are going to turn out to be!
