Baby Mason is here!

We welcomed our new little one, Mason Wyatt, on Friday, July 15! He was born at 4:19pm, weighed 7 lbs 11 oz, and was 21.5 inches long. When we left on Sunday his pediatrician said he still weighed the same, and he seemed pretty excited about it, since most babies lose 10% of their weight before they leave the hospital. We had his 4 day check-up yesterday and he was only down one ounce to 7lbs 10oz.

Enough with the boring stuff (okay, it’s not boring to me, but probably to everyone else), here are some pictures!

Proud daddy!

Our first family picture

My parents (AKA Poppy and Gammy) with baby Mason

This is how he “holds” Mason. I think it’s cheating But baby doesn’t cry, so I suppose it works!

What a cute hospital blanket. Har har.

Here is Mason in his going home outfit (AKA all his “fancy” clothes are too big. Never thought that’d happen.)

Hopefully he doesn’t accidentally throw Mason instead of the football…

Sleeeeepy baby.

This picture is fuzzy, but here he is at his very first pediatrician appointment! I think this is the way he’s been “laying” for the last few months- OR he’s just like his momma and sits awkwardly.

My mom came with us and decided we ‘needed’ a picture of Mason with his Dr., then felt awkward about asking, so she snapped this picture while he was getting checked out.

Mason’s first bath! No ‘during’ shots, since it was just Nathan and I and a VERY wiggly baby, but look how cute he is!

These are stress related smiles here, people. The end result was great, but the process was difficult. Maybe next time we’ll walk in with a plan rather than “Let’s wash baby!”

Yay! We’re finished! Oops, Mason’s very active arms got in the way. Go figure.

Redo:

There you have it. We’ve had him in our lives for a little over 4 days now, and it seems as though the world revolves around him. And we don’t mind. In fact, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
