...and Rowley!

Ollie B is a big brother! March 5, 2015 at 6:10pm his little brother Rowley Ellis was born, weighing in at 7.45lbs (to Ollie's 7.1) and 20" (to Ollie's 19.75") and with an enormous head circumference 1/2cm larger(!!) than Ollie's! The only big difference - Ollie had bright blonde hair and Rowley has brown!

He surprised us all - me most of all - by being born a day before his due date. I was convinced he would follow Ollie's lead in being 2 weeks late, but, no no, not this one! 

He is now 3 weeks old, just over 8lbs, and pretty delightful. He has a pretty explosive and loud cry but luckily doesn't use it all that often. He is amazingly immune to Ollie's loud play, and Ollie is (mostly) very sweet and gentle with him. 

I never got my girl - boo! - but we couldn't be happier with these two cuties. And we are hopeful they will be good buddies in the years to come!

Brand new baby!

Sweet little sleeping face!

Serious Face

Outside time!

Happy Brothers

Not a pretty picture, but proof that I got both boys out for a walk on my first week home alone with them! Success! (Rowley in the Ergo shadow...)
