Hold On to Your Uterus

My apologies to those of you pure souls who are not on Facebook, I admit I forgot that fact, and didn't mean to leave the baby nameless in the last post.  I figured you already knew it.

It took us a few days to nail down a name. Much to the delight of the birth certificate lady in the hospital, we finally settled on Finn Lewis Colton.

Finn was a come-from-behind-and-claim-the-prize choice and Lewis is after Dan's maternal grandfather.

Sunday while everyone else was at church, we took advantage of the quiet house and took some pictures.


At 6 days old, he is sweeter than sweet.  While possibly temporary, he seems pretty chill. And although he loves to eat, near constant snacking might be a more appropriate description.

I'm probably a teensy bit biased, but I think this boy is some kind of wonderful.

Marcia and I were just talking about how, in complete honesty, not all babies are that attractive. But, Finn, well, does NOT have that problem!

Oh, I love him already! What a sweet little face. Congratulations again, wish we were closer so we could snuggle him sooner. Hopefully this summer?

Elise said...

Yes, Ashley, hopefully this summer! We will have to coordinate!

Ah, man! I wish you lived next door, so I could force you to take pictures of my baby, too!

Love these photos! He is absolutely precious!
