Introducing Tyler Scott Simpson

Grandma Elaine came to visit the day we got home from the hospital. She says she came to "help" but I'm pretty sure she just couldn't wait to get her hands on a new little baby!! As it was, she was a tremendous help in playing with the other kids, preparing meals, keeping the house clean, and, of course, holding little Tyler when she could get him away from me!
Tyler coming home from the hospital on Sunday. He was born Friday, February 13th at 8:59 pm. He weighed 7 1/2 pounds and measured at 20 1/2 inches long. He's a bit jaundiced, but otherwise is a perfectly healthy little guy. (By the way, for those of you who have seen pictures of Eden and/or Davis shortly after birth, apparently Allen and I only make one mold of child--he really is the spitting image...)

Eden is loving being a big sister. The first thing she asked for as she came into the hospital was, "Where's baby brother" and "I hold..." with outstretched arms. She has been mostly kind, rubbing his head "soft" whenever she sees him and loves to frequently sit down and hold him for about half a second before she leaps up and is off to the next big thing.


Davis is the perfect big brother. He, too, asked to see baby brother the second he walked into the hospital and was seen frequently walking over to the bassinet so he could just watch over him. At home, he is constantly caught gazing at little Tyler and whispering things to him. When I asked him once what he was saying, he said, "I'm just telling him I love him..."



Our new family of 5...The adults are now outnumbered by the children...Let the games begin!
