Two photos

I'll upload more photos from my camera if/when I remember to bring the right cable in to work. In the meantime, here are a couple of pictures my Mom took. (Above: Alec, Dad and me. Below: Alec in the sleep shirt Elise made for Hazel three years ago.) So far, Alec is a pleasant kid and a good sleeper, which is fantastic.

Hazel is still adjusting to her new brother. Some days, she asks several times "Can I kiss the baby?" Then yesterday when Elise told Alec "I love you," Hazel  piped up "I don't!" Then, after a moment of considering, added "Maybe when I'm four." 

He's here!

Alec William Pearson was born at 2:27pm on August 15th at Good Samaritan Hospital in downtown Los Angeles. He weighed 7 and a half pounds. The birth itself was very easy. (For me, anyway. I imagine it was more difficult for Elise, but I haven't gotten around to asking her yet. I'm sure she's fine...)

In all seriousness, Elise was amazing. The doctor and nurses commented on how good she was at giving birth. Which is kind of weird, but nice I suppose.

Hazel is doing great as a big sister, with occasional flashes of "Wait, who is this person and why do you guys seem to like him so much?" Lucky for us we had my mom and sister in town, which Hazel has really appreciated. (And so have we!)

Kate left today, but Mom's here for another week, and Dad gets in tomorrow. More pictures soon.

 

Hey, everybody! Since we're most likely going to have our second kid this month, I thought it was a good idea to start a new baby blog. We'll be posting photos here for several reasons, not the least of which is that it will keep my mom from hounding me daily for pictures. (Actually, my mom's coming out to L.A. in a couple of weeks, to help out when the new kid gets here. Hooray, Mom!)

As of now, nothing to report. Elise is all belly, which is kind of awesome.

And Hazel is getting used to the idea of having a little brother. (And also getting used to the idea that we will NOT be taking her advice and naming him "Table Giraffe Pearson.") We still haven't settled on a name, but while he's in utero we're calling him "Boba," after the delicious milk tea treat. Some of you may remember we called Hazel "Mochi" until she got here.

Anyway, no promises on keeping this thing up to date. I expect to be busy soon, and blogs for second kids tend to fall by the wayside. (Unless you're Allen and Elaine, but they're awesome.)

More later!
