Baby bliss

The newest member of the family made his arrival at 37 weeks and 4 days, allowing us to avoid induction.  He came naturally and quickly (born 3.5 hours after arriving at the hospital) at 11:32 a.m. weighing in at 7 lbs, 2 oz and 19 3/4".  He laughed in his sleep within 36 hours of being born and hasn't stopped since.  I managed to capture it on video the other day and I could listen to his laugh over and over again.  Like most babies he smiles lots in his sleep.  He loves being snuggled against my chest and lately has found his voice. He is ridiculously strong for his size.  He rolled onto his back the other day while doing tummy time (2 weeks old).  He has the cutest ear lobes, a back full of fur and a sweet head full of black hair.  His big siblings are excited to have a little brother. My parents arrived the day after he was born and were able to stay the first week.  We are a lucky crew!  Welcome to the family little man!
