it's a boy!

Now that our child is one month old, I think it's time to introduce the little man to everyone!

Charles Henry (Charlie to his friends) arrived fifteen days late, on May 30, at 4:56 PM. He was 7 pounds, 15 ounces and 22 inches long.

After 44 hours or so of labor, we were very glad when he finally made his appearance ;o)

Here's his one month photo - he's such a cute little man - we are so in love with our little Charlie Bean:

Look at those feet! Enormous, I say!

More soon, I promise there won't be another big long hiatus ;o)

What an adorable boy! What a great time you have entered. I see you have a cloth diaper on him so that must be going well. From reading your blog I noted your French Bulldogs. Check out the Crazy 8's website for newborn boy clothes (www.crazy8.com). They currently have a sweater with a terrier type dog on it...could be a French Bulldog...not sure. It is super cute. I happened to be checking out the website yesterday for my 6-month old boy and his growing clothing needs.

Congrats, Ellen! Charlie is SO adorable. You are a real trooper for hanging in those fifteen extra days. I'm sure when you're 40 weeks pregnant, each extra day seems like an extra week. I look forward to seeing Charlie dressed in a lot of cute and tasteful onesies :)

Congratulations on your new baby! Having labor for 44 hours is a no joke. But once you see how beautiful your baby is, all the pain and the suffering are gone in an instant. You both deserve hugs, kisses and awesome gifts!
