I never believed in love at first sight before Sunday...
But then I saw him for the first time.
Baby Boy Taco*
19 inches, 5lbs 10oz (2.55kg)
Taco was 12 days late and his unexpectedly small size caused some complications with his delivery. But he was born completely healthy and is really thriving now that we're home.
He makes the funniest faces. Sorry about the wonky camera angle...
And we're done.
The only thing we're making around here at the moment is milk. I actually finished a few unblogged projects before he was born. Not sure I'll get to posting them soon. But look for us on Instagram.
* So, we're calling this tiny boy Taco for blog purposes. Yep, there's a story. From the day he found out a new cousin was expected, my 8yo nephew Linus was horribly offended that we were calling the baby Raspberry. Cleary, Raspberry is a "girl name," and Linus was convinced that the baby would be a boy. His rationale: there are 5 girls in my generation but no boys, and there were 4 boys in his generation but no girls. So, the boys were "owed" another boy and Linus renamed the baby Taco. It seems only fair that we continue calling him Taco in the blogosphere, since Linus was correct.
