Loving the blue!

Welcome to the world, Reggie Russell Barnes!

Baby boy arrived Thursday, October 21, at 7:45 am after an exciting drive to Topeka at 1:30 in the morning! He weighs in at 7 lbs 8.5 oz and 20.75 inches long.
As you can see, he is absolutely perfect! He is such a sweet boy already! He's been pretty easy on his mommy and daddy his first week, which has been nice.
Big Sister loves her brother! Mya has been really good with Reggie. She loves to love on him a little bit each day calling him her "brudder" and giving him kisses.
Here's Reggie about to leave the hospital and go for his first car ride. I forget how small newborns are!
One last picture of little miss Mya. Here she is decorating her pumpkin that she picked all by herself at the pumpkin patch. She decorated him with glitter paint, silly eyes, a pink cotton nose, and sharpies. I forgot to get a pic of the end product, but it looks adorable!

Overall things are going well here, with a big thanks to my mom who stayed for a few days and practically cleaned my whole house! Thanks Mom! I'm not sure when I'll get the time or energy to update again, but I'll try to post some new pics of our family of four soon!

Yay! Baby Blue is here! Love, love, love his name - so fun to call a little man REGGIE! Good to hear that Mya is adapting well. Can't wait for a birth story (wink). After your little man arrived, we met another small guy two weeks early and you're right - so tiny! Enjoy the itty bitty fingers and toes and we'll look forward to seeing you whenever we can! Much love!
