Elliot

We need to change the name of this blog somehow, because the Powell family now has four members! Elliot Lawrence Powell joined us on Friday, March 30th at 1:20 PM (a few days shy of his April 2nd due date), weighing in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces, and 19.75 inches long (a smidge smaller than Henry was).

His middle name is in honor of my grandfather, Louis Lawrence, and also in honor of my sister, Gina Lauren. Elliot is just because we liked it :)

Elliot arrived with a lot of DARK hair, and seems to have a somewhat darker complexion than Henry did:

Henry had been showing a lot of conflicted emotions about having a brother prior to Elliot's arrival, but has been over the moon excited since it became a reality.

He loves, loves, loves to hold him. In fact, our major issue thus far has been Henry throwing fits and sulking when he can't hold the baby:

We are still in the honeymoon days, where Elliot basically sleeps constantly. We know it won't last very long, but it is great for now!

We were finally able to bring Elliot home this afternoon:

And now our family is complete!
