Welcome Baby Mckay! Your first week of life!

You just had to be born and instant celebrity status was yours, well, in this family anyway.       You were adored at the hospital by many visitors, Grandpa Mair, Robyn, Krissy, Amber, Meredith & Kim.     You look a little bit like Benjamin and a whole lot like yourself. We are all smitten, except your mother is just a little crazy in pain supporting your milk flow.  She’s strictly obeying the traditional post baby diet including the three most necessary food groups, Lindt, Cadbury and Ghirardelli.  When chocolate runs low, a spot of Tillamook ice cream soothes nicely. Flavors of the week:  Chocolate mudslide and Butter Pecan.   

James adores and would rather hold you than do any house hold chore or duty.  Truthfully the whole family feels that way.  You hardly cry, but make your will clear,  through grunts, eyebrow maneuvers, and ghost smiles.  Aunt Donna came to admire and ended up stocking the fridge with a trip to the grocery store.  She exclaimed, “I can’t imagine shopping for six kids!”You screamed through you first bath, and as per tradition you peed on all the clean towels showing your distain for bathing in a bathroom sink.  Mom’s just waiting for you to get a little bigger so she can toss you in with the big boys for group sudsing!     The weather has been just spot on.  Of course, on April 1st, the day you came home, it rained, snowed and was sunny all in one day.  We love you amazing baby boy!

More pictures soon.  Nursing is better now that the two week feeding frenzy has begun, Adelaide turned 12!, and we are feeling very spoiled with dinners and help in abundance.
