Welcoming John Whitten Hays

This past Wednesday on September 15, 2010 at 1:32 pm, Shaun and I were overcome with love and joy as we watched our son enter the world. He was an impressive 8 pounds 3 ounces and 21 inches long! So far he is a very easy going little baby, and only cries when we are changing him or when he is hungry. Nursing is going great, and I am very thankful to have an eager eater on my hands. I will blog the details of Whitten's grand entrance into this world later, but I wanted to get some pictures of our little guy posted as quickly as possible.
