Jack Philip McAllister

He's here! Jack Philip McAllister joined us on Friday, October 3rd at 4:59pm weighing in at 10lbs 4 oz and measuring 22 inches long. He is a beautiful, healthy, baby boy. He has dark black hair, dark blue eyes, and the chubbiest cheeks I've seen. In our few short days together we have shared those wonderful newborn moments where you simply stare at your new little angel for hours at a time trying to memorize every feature, and we have spent hours trying to figure out how to get that angel-turned-devil to stop crying. The joys of having a newborn. It's just as magical the third time around. Here are some pictures from the past few days. As you can see, Rex could not be prouder of his new little brother. Sean is pretty much ambivalent most of the time, but he does like to blow kisses to Jack. Rex was insistent that Jack should have a cake to celebrate his birthday, so Jack's arrival into this world was celebrated with candles and all, and Rex fulfilled his first duty of being a big brother again. I am pretty much bound to the couch these days, (ten pound baby, natural childbirth, faulty epidural- you get the picture), so hopefully I can post pictures more frequently over the next few days/weeks. I will do my best- it is a bit of a zoo around here right now. But we are loving every minute of it.
