First, doting grandparents arrive, hoping to meet Baby Brother.
Charles eats up the attention.
At long last, Paul William makes his appearance!
August 25 at 1:30 a.m. after less than 2 hours of labor...
8 lbs, 1 oz., 20.5 in.
Proud Big Brother Charles visits that morning.
And after settling in at home for a few days,
Paul meets his first stuffed animal:
Here he is at 4 days old.
Already in the first week his tiny squeals have changed to grunts,
he's gained almost a pound, and he's learning to appreciate (ignore?)
the many kisses of his adoring brother. Welcome to the family, sweet baby!
