Jack Pot!!

Tuesday November 9 started like any other day. Everyone in our little family of three got up, ate breakfast and I started a load of laundry while Bryan headed off to work. Then Lilly and I got cleaned up and ventured out to run a few errands before heading out to take a walk and enjoy some fresh air at my parents' house (Please see previous blog).
Tuesday November 9, however, did not end like any other day. By midnight Lilly was asleep, my mom was on our couch and Bryan and I were at the hospital. At 10:02am on Wednesday, November 10 we welcomed David Jack Traylor and became a family of four. At 7lbs 13.5ozs and almost 22 inches long he was bigger than his big sister, but still seemed tiny to us.
Jack doing his favorite thing: sleeping. He eats good, sleeps well and cries only when he needs something. He may look a lot like his big sis, but their personalities seem night and day already.
Lilly so proud of her baby brother. She was so excited to hold him and then became obsessed with his feet. You can't tell, but she is wearing her 'Big Sister' t-shirt.
My mom told her to be careful of his soft spot and she later told Bryan, "Be careful, he has a bad spot." Notice her little hand is on his foot, did I mention she was obsessed with his feet? Jack with his new kitty. Grandma and Papaw stopped on the way to the hospital so Lilly could bring a gift to her new baby brother. Grandma helped her pick out a blue hippo and they were ready to pay when Papaw pointed out the basket of kitties, Lilly's favorite. So now, Jack has a cute black kitty with a pink nose and ears. I think he likes it though.
Jack having some 'tree frog' time with Daddy after lunch. They can't wait to watch the Colt's game together on Sunday!
