atticus

It was love at first sight! Our wonderful and dear friends the Beans had their first baby, a boy named Atticus Riverdale Bean. Besides the fact that the name itself is way cool, Atticus is just darling! Eli leaned in to give him some cheek to cheek time. When Atticus cried, Eli was very concerned....already doing his duty of acting as a protector to his new friend.

Isn't he just precious? Wrapped in his very appropriate and timely Phillies blanket, he dozed in my arms for quite a while. He was warm in my lap, making silly faces in his slumber, as I felt him breathe in and out.

Chad is holding Atticus and they actually match....no that was not planned. :)

Here, Atticus' Daddy, aka Uncle Jesse, is showing Eli his watch and putting it on him. Atticus has the greatest parents ever. Whenever Eli is around either of them, he is usually covered in kisses and lifted up and played with constantly. It is such a true blessing to see these two people bring a child into the world and for me to know deep in my heart that this child has the best parents he could ever have. He is a lucky boy.

CONGRATULATIONS TAN AND JESS! WE LOVE YOU!
