We Have a New Member of Our Family!

What a cute kissable face right?

Apparently Taft had a hard day too!

OK, so maybe 9 1/2 pounds is an exaggeration.

Here's the whole family.

Well, he's finally here. Lincoln Taft Arnold, came two weeks late but he was worth the wait! He weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs. 8 oz. and was 22 1/2 inches long. We're not sure if he was overcooked or if he's just destined to be a giant! Everything went smoothly and Mom and baby are happy to finally be home. It's a little overwhelming to have so many people who seem just as excited to see him as we are, but it's fun to see everyone. Thanks to everyone for the offers of help, if we give everyone who has offered an opportunity to babysit, we won't see him again until he turns 16. There are a couple pictures here if you want to see more just go to Taft's facebook page.

Congrats again, that's quite an accomplishment! I thought pushing out 7 1/ pounds was rough.

I thought Grandma Leslie had dibs on babysitting until he was 23? Love you guys and can't wait for your visit!

Taft's reward for working so hard in school. He went with his best buds Josh and Jordan and golfed until it was dark every day.
