Abbey stopped by to show Ronan her new haircut. He thinks she looks dreamy.

Diaper

Kevin thinks Ronan looks ridiculous in his cloth diapers. I think the boy just knows how to fill out a pair of pants.

Ronan's first picnic

Dad enjoying some much deserved diet coke.

Ronan is really taking in the sites.

Cruising through the neighborhood

Going for a walk

You've gotta love a tired baby

Late night at the frat house

Nap time

He's a sleepy little guy... and Ronan looks pretty pooped too.

Magic Touch

Dad has the magic touch for putting Ronan to sleep.

But I don't want to be a duck...

Happy Birthday

We have survived week 2! With Dad officially back at work, Mom and Ronan are spending a lot of quality time together. Our days are mostly filled with eating, pooping, sleeping, and crying (it's amazing how much we already have in common). Grandma and Grandpa Murphy are on their way down today, so I'll get to the good stuff...pictures!

Birthday

We made it through our first week! Ronan celebrated by staying up and partying (eating and crying) all night. He really does take after his mom and dad. He is currently in competition with himself to see how many outfits he can pee through in a day. Current Record: 5. We'll see what the next week brings!

Things are going to be ok

I like it here, I think things are going to be OK!

Gotta make sure he gets in some quality time with Grandma Jane also

Hanging out with Grandpa Mike

Double Chin and Alfalfa Hair- now thats a good lookin' guy.

Newly arrived and flashing gang signs already- Westside!! I think he's going to be a handful.

Home at last

We made it through our first night at home! We appreciate all the phone calls, texts, and well wishes-- we are so lucky to have such great friends and family. Ronan is going to be a lucky little man to have so much love around him. Thanks to Grandma Jane for the delicious steak dinner and welcome home reception! Kevin was great and let me sleep as much as possible during feedings. He did have some good help from his night nurse Artie... who is doing awesome and likes to help (and sneak licks) as much as possible. The McCanns are coming over today and Ronan can't wait to meet his cousins Kaylie and Cade! Here are some of our favorite pictures from the hospital.

I'm too excited to sleep...

Waiting for Baby

Still waiting for baby. Hopefully there will be news and pictures soon!
