Mighty Man

Our little Mighty Man is here! He arrived on November 15th- his daddy's birthday! So not only do father and son share the month and day of their birth date, but also their first and last names are the same. I only hope their social security numbers aren't similar.

William Thomas Doran was 8 pounds, 2 ounces and 21 inches long. A big boy! He's almost up to 10 pounds now. At this rate he might surpass Sydney's size by the time he's one (she's only 23 pounds)! We're calling him Liam for short. No Billy, no Tommy, and please, PLEASE no Willy. :)

Big-Big Sister Lillian and Big Sister Sydney love their little brother. They always want to hold him and check on him when he's sleeping. Lillian keeps a close eye on his little hats to make sure they don't fall off or slip over his eyes, and when they get slightly askew she quickly rectifies the situation and returns his hat-wearing to a perfect state. Sydney is fascinated with his hands, toes, and hair. She is always trying to pull off his hat or his socks to inspect them. She informs me when he is awake or crying, and she likes to rush up to him and say, "Hey Buddy!!" This usually scares him and sends his arms flying up in the air by instinct response and his eyes get really big (then of course Sydney declares, 'He awake! See him eyes?!' They awake!') All in all we're adjusting well to having the little guy around. He's a champ at sleeping through temper tantrums, taking naps on the couch, and nursing while his big sister tries to climb into Mommy's lap. We're so happy to have him with us and to love him and cuddle him!!


Liam- Tell Aunt Aimee that Mommy made the shout out before you reached one month! :)
