Welcome home!

Today Michele and Mason came home from the hospital. Here are a few more photos. By the way, it appears now that the previous birth weight was incorrect. Today when weighing him the nurses got 8 lbs and 8 oz. They weighed him several times and got the same weight each time. Its basically unheard of for a baby to gain 9 oz. in a day and a half, so the doctor is changing the official birth weight to 8 lbs. 8 oz.

Also check out that mass of dark hair! We don't know where it comes from but Elias had the same thing when he was born. In fact Elias' baby photos look a great deal like Mason's. In a few years we probably won't be able to remember which is which.

Elias is very interested in his little brother. As soon as we got home Elias wanted to hold him. Then when we told Elias that it was time for Mason to eat, Elias kept repeating "baby eat! Baby eat! Baby sit!" and trying to get Michele to take the baby into the kitchen, where it appears that Elias wanted Mason to sit in his chair. Elias also wanted to show Mason his books. He came running into the living room with Curious George. Holding the book up to Mason he declaired "Geog! Geog!"
