Meet my newest chunk of love

I know some of you have been patiently awaiting photos. I have just three for now (of course, there's bound to be LOTS more). This is Gus. He was born Dec. 17th at 2:31pm and he weighed a whopping 9 lbs, 3 ozs! He's such a good baby. Unfortunately, we did bring him home to a house full of germs. Molly was diagnosed with croup just days after he came home, so he is now fighting a cold. Aside from a snotty nose, some coughing and sneezing, he's perfect. He's pretty laid back (thank goodness, b/c in this house, he's gonna need to be.) :) He was fussy a little yesterday, but I think that's because he's not feeling so great. He goes to bed about midnight and only wakes up once. LOVE it! I can get two 3 1/2 hour blocks of sleep at night. And, if I can work it right, with Anna and Molly's nap schedule, and if Gus is asleep, I can even catch a few winks in the afternoon. All the girls are doing great with him, too. Emily can be a really big help (when she's not too wrapped up in being Emily.) Anna thinks he's pretty cool, but kinda lives in her own little "preschooler" world anyway. Molly LOVES him. She doesn't fully understand the meaning of the word 'gentle' yet, but she's getting there. Gus is going to have to be a tough little guy around her. Just yesterday, she pulled him out of his baby papasan seat (fortunately just a few inches above the floor) b/c she wanted to buckle his seat and he was laying on the buckles. My own fault for not buckling him in in the first place. I was just a few feet away in the kitchen making lunch, but fortunately, Emily was there to grab him before Molly was completely successful. :)

Our weather was crummy the past few days, but today the sun is out. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take some more pics.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and have a happy New Year!
