Multi-Generation

Mason is fortunate to have a great-grandfather on Julie's side and a great-grandmother on my side. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a couple of multi-generational photos. See below for Julie's mom and grandfather in one photo and my dad and my grandmother in another. We love these photos.

Mr. Popular

I guess I'm not keeping my supply up with the current demand levels. Apparently, the public is wanting more Mason, and they're not seeing it. I could claim that I'm just trying to keep demand high, but I'm guilty of just being short on material. He's being pretty baby. He is a night owl like his father, which is not good at this stage. We're trying to get him more in the groove of sleeping at nights, but we have to remind ourselves, he's not yet 3 weeks old. Perhaps our standards are too high. Oh well, we're in the learning stage also. Now, I shall give the people what they want. . . more pictures.

The Sneeze

One of our favorite things since we first heard it in the hospital is Mason's sneeze. It is guaranteed to get a laugh out of me because he winds up and usually spits out consecutive sneezes. Finally, after many failed attempts and near-misses, I was able to capture it on camera. Enjoy!

The Many Faces of Mason

Well, it's been a little over a week, and this little guy has changed. We're enjoying the progress, despite the lack of sleep. See for yourself, the many faces of Mason.

Photos

For all who are interested, here's some photos of the newest Lanier.

He's Here!!

MASON BYRON LANIER arrived today at 6:21 PM weighing in at 8 lbs, 4oz. He's 19.25 inches long and happens to be a really cool guy. Mom and baby are doing well, although both are very hungry.

Coming Soon to a Family Near You

And we're waiting and waiting. . .

It sounds like we're getting really close. The nurse suspects we'll have a new family member by dinnertime tonight. Until then, you guessed it, we wait. This is now in first place in our life as the most surreal moment. It's already been crazy, so we'll see.

At the Hospital

We arrived at the hospital at approximately 1:30 am due to thinking that Julie's water broke. The nurse seemed to think that was the case and after calling the doctor, they have decided to start the induction process. Now. . . we wait.
