Gavin is here!

Babies are such a nice way to start people.
(Don Herrold)

It's been over a month since our last post- mostly because this last month has flown by faster than we could imagine, and our lives our 100% fuller than they were prior. Why? Because our big blessing in a little boy, Gavin Patrick, entered our world on August 29th after 9 months of anticipation. Here is one of his first photos taken at Christiana Hospital...



He is our little angel, and we could not be happier or more complete to have him in our family.



Big brother Aidan has loved Gavin from the start... Probably the biggest joy we have experienced with our new addition, is witnessing the immediate, instinctual love Aidan has shown for him from Day # 1.




From trying to share his beloved cars, to always wanting to give him his binkie when he's crying, to his kisses on the head and his "Where Gavin go?" questioning as soon as he walks in the door... Gavin couldn't ask for a more loving big bro in Aidan!







It's hard to believe that our little one is a month old as we are writing this... Ambiguous as it feels like he's always been a part of our family but at the same time everything is going by so fast!



It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.
(Deepak Chopra)

As always, I am amazed at how much there is to learn from my childREN! Gavin only cries when he is hungry, tired, or has a tummyache. These events are easily corrected and he goes back to being content or asleep within minutes. He has no desire to whine, or manipulate or complain. He is pure innocence, and he makes our hearts melt each and every day...
 
To our loving family and friends, I am sure there will be lots more to come in the near future! Thank you all for your heartfelt wishes during this last month.. feeling your love and support during this time has made it even more special.
