Sweet New Baby...

Alek came home from the hospital last Monday. He has been home with us for one week now, and it is so much fun! At night he sleeps with me on our sofa, and Chancellor sleeps with aaron on the bed. Someday I'd love to get a bigger bed so we can all fit on there together. (of course, a little bed just for Chancellor would be just fine, if she can ever sleep through the night).





Chancellor loves her little brother! That's a picture of her going up to give him a big, wet kiss. She kisses with a big gaping mouth, and her tongue sticking way out. She likes to bring him his bottles, and make a little pretend eating noise. She'll get his diapers for me. She'll yank his hat off and touch his head. She likes to find his eyes and nose, and poke them. She always tries to pick him up, but we make her settle for a hug. It's so cute watching her lay her big(comparatively) head down on his little body for hugs!





I think Aaron's having fun with his little boy. They'll be cute together as Alek grows up. Aaron picked out his name, Aleksandr, because he likes Russia so much. And Edward is Aaron's middle name, and his father's, and HIS father's. If it weren't for Alek, the Umberson name would die with Aaron, because there aren't any other boys. He's a very important little guy.
