Baby Addilyn!!!

I couldn't post this before because I didn't want to steal Lenna's thunder, but baby Addi is here!!! Addilyn Elizabeth was born last night at 7:07. She is 8 lbs 1 oz, 21 inches. She is SO adorable! We watched Mason all day yesterday while his parents were at the hospital and went to see Addilyn around 9 last night after she got a chance to settle in and things calmed down. He is going to be a great big brother, he already looks out for Donovan so I can only imagine how great he will be to his own sister. I will post more pictures later, I had to steal this one from Lenna and Scott's blog because I left our camera at the hospital last night. After we saw Addilyn, Mason came back to our house for a sleep over so Scott could stay at the hospital to be with Lenna and the baby. Mason read a few books to Donovan, I really wish I would have had the camera to record him, it is pretty impressive. He has a really good memory and almost got every word right on most of the pages! This morning we woke up to Mason kicking the floor as Donovan was kicking the mattress in his crib. When I walked in they both had big grins on their faces. I was a little worried about how Mason would handle being without his mommy and daddy, but he did fine! We have had a couple of meltdowns when he has wanted his mommy, but he has done better than I expected. He is very grown up for an almost 3 year old!

I guess we don't have access to their blog, at least not that I know of. Mom might have an in. At any rate, give them a big congrats from us. It sounds like everything went well. And double the fun now... :)

It was so fun to see and hear everyone on the webcam! I'm so glad Mason had a great place to be while his family is busy and away. He has had good practice with Donovan to be a big brother. Now, Donovan will have to be taking lessons so he will be prepared when it's his turn to be a big brother! :)
