Atticus Loring

This sweet little man graced us with his presence on March 25th and as could be expected, life hasn't been the same since.

I was so happy to be done with labor I forgot at first to care whether he was a boy or a girl. 

I just wanted to snuggle.

Not so for this guy, however.

I've never seen a prouder (and more hysterical) dad.  Seriously, even the nurses were entertained.  He was so sure he was going to be outnumbered 4:1.  

I don't think there is anything sweeter than sibling love.  The genuine excitement and love Fiona and Evie exuded when they came to meet him was overwhelming.  They both ran straight to little Atticus, touching him softly, giving gentle kisses.  The first thing Fiona asked was to hold him.  

And it's been only love ever since. 

He timed his entry into this world perfectly arriving less than 12 hours after picking Nanny up from the airport.  What a blessing it was to have her here to watch the girls and get to meet him while he's still so small.  

Atticus, we sure are smitten. 

 Turns out baby boys are just a wonderful and lovable as baby girls.
