He's Here!

Last Saturday we went out to breakfast as a family, went and saw 2 houses (yes, we're still house hunting- long story), went into Philly so Dave could pick up some work at his office while I shopped at the Trader Joe's in Philadelphia, came home, had dinner, played with Maya, put her to bed, and then...

Leo Warren Gomez entered the world on May 25, 2013, a week early at 10:48 pm, weighing in at 6 lbs 15 oz.  He was 20.5 inches long.  He came quickly- about 45 minutes after arriving at the hospital.   We're a little nervous that this might be a glimpse of his personality... :)

Newborns are sooo sleepy.  I already think he's going to be a thumb sucker like his big sister.  He's found it a couple of times already, and was sucking his thumb during an ultrasound!

First family of 4 photo!

All ready to go home from the hospital - don't worry he had a blanket too!  He's so little in there!

Maya is such a wonderful big sister.  She adores Leo. She loves to run in and check on him in the morning and bring him all of her toys!  If he cries she tells him that, "He's ok."  She's thankfully has been totally fine with all the time it takes to feed a newborn.  I hope this continues  Living at grandmom's house helps of course, and so does all of the extra attention that Dave has been giving to her!

Maya asks to hold Leo fairly frequently!

Who do you think he looks like?  He's starting to look more like Maya I think but he doesn't look just like Dave like Maya did.  I think might be resembling my side a bit more!  They change so quickly each day though!

Welcome to the world Leo!  Now that you're here we can't imagine our lives without you.
