7 pounds 9 ounces (exact same weight as Bella.)

Practically perfect in every way. Looks just like his daddy.

Truly sons are a gift from the Lord,
a blessing, the fruit of the womb.
Indeed the sons of youth
are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.

I melt utterly in the light of his pure adorableness.  What a handsome fellow!  And look, hair on a son! (We don’t see that so much around here.)
