HEY, ABBOTT!

He's here!!!

  

Abbott Wells joined our family at 1:33 PM on Friday, November 4th.

Abbott shares his birthday with his great-grandfather,
Lt. Col. James W. Boddie
(Katie's grandfather)

"Evie hold him!" has become a frequent statement
around our house this past week.

No, she's not trying to smother him... She's sharing her special blanket with him!
THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL. Seriously.
Not just anybody gets to touch the blanket...

He's awesome! Can I keep him?!

We've spent the past few days getting to know each other. Abbott is a very calm and chill baby, which helps Momma's recovery process a lot! He's the first thing Evie asks to see when she wakes up in the morning.

Below are a few pictures I've taken during Abbott's first week with us. Just feast your eyes on this adorable bundle of snuggles...

A very late night/early morning at the hospital with Momma.

Hi, I know you.

Ready to come home!

Mom, seriously. You're making me go cross-eyed
from all the picture taking!

And of course we can't forget our other new family member.
Introducing: Evie the Shark!

She's worn this shark hat for a few days now and even wore it into her class at school yesterday. She roared/growled (like a shark?!) at her classmates and pretended to swim around.

She's a happy shark.  No shark bites to report so far. (thankfully)

Now, it's time  for me to go snuggle with our new addition. I hear him yelling my name!
