Baby Ryan is here!

Finally! We are so happy Ryan is here safe and sound. We are just soaking him in and enjoying the first few magical days of having a newborn. We think he knew exactly what he was doing coming when he did. First, he was thinking of me and didn't come on my birthday. Second, he was thinking of Kent and came on a weekend so that he wouldn't have to ask for too much time off work and we would have a full week with Kent next week. And third, he was thinking of the kids because as of January 21st the hospital where I delivered lifted an age restriction that said that no kids under 14 yrs old could visit at the hospital, so the kids got to come and see us and have that special moment. It was so sweet to see how the kids loved him at first sight and had to take turns holding him over and over and over.

Here are his stats:
born: January 22nd at 7:44am
weight: 8lbs 6ozs
length: 21 inches

I wish I had some digital copies of the pictures of when Jack was a baby (we were old school then and just had a film), but we think they look SO much alike. Oh, and his offical name is: Ryan Morris Taylor. Morris is Kent's middle name, Kent's dad's middle name, and Kent's grandpa's name. We love him so much and are so thankful for him!

Oh Man! He is just perfect! He looks like he fits. So glad to see pictures. We've been checking often. Darin thinks he looks half grown already! I can't believe you delivered him natural! Way to go! Love the picture of Jack and Jordan loving him, so sweet. They are going to be lots of help. Have a fun week!

Oh Holly, we're so excited for you. He does look so much like Jack. I agree with Jill about needing to see him ASAP! It's been killing me. Funny how anxious we are to finally have them arrive, and then when they finally do it works out perfectly timing wise. I'm so happy you'll have a week with just your little family of five. We've been thinking about you lots. I've been wanting to call but don't want to bug you too much:-) Congratulations, we love you already RYAN!

He's so cute Holly & Kent! He does remind me of Jack with those big lips and mouth. He'll be a heart breaker! He looks so good and healthy. We are so happy he finally came and the timing worked out like it did. He's already showing his sweet personality. I hope you are feeling well and that he's sleeping so you can. I love you Sis! You're amazing!!!
