crosby wells o'brien

crosby wells o'brien was born december 5th, 2011 at beth israel deaconess medical center in boston.  our dear friend and OB, Mimi, was able to deliver him and it was a super fast, smooth and healthy delivery.  we are so very thankful.  he weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long and was a great eater from the very beginning.  crosby doesn't really look like jude at all - he actually looked a bit like a bulldog when he was born (see picture 2) :)

well, you know what they say about the second child ...  we have taken very few pictures of crosby as we have just been in survival mode with two babies under 2.  but the past two nights, crosby has slept through the night, and so i feel like a bit of a new person (with the help of my cup of coffee that i've been nursing for the past 5 hours).  so i thought it was about time (now that he's 7 weeks old) to post some of the pictures we have taken.

this is when we introduced jude to crosby.  we had just gotten home from the hospital and jude got up from his nap and we brought him downstairs to meet his little brother.  jude is enamored by him!  As you can tell from the pictures, jude just wants to hug him all the time.  and the last picture is what happened when we tried to take crosby out of jude's arms - he started yelling "mine!  my baby!"

The rest of these pictures are just some of my favorite moments with our new little guy over the past 7 weeks.
