The newest MiniMarr has arrived! Our son, James Patrick, was born on February 20, 2014 at 9:21AM. He was 20 inches long and weighed in at 8 lbs. 5 oz.
Pete didn’t quite know what to make of his new little brother. He was pretty convinced our baby was a girl (which made us think so too!) and didn’t seem to quite grasp the concept that the baby in my belly was actually James. He was spoiled rotten with big brother presents, and hammed it up for the camera before agreeing to be in a family photo!
When I first saw James, I was struck by how much he looked like Brienna and Pete when they were born. When we saw James for the first time, Pat said “Pete!” and then we both laughed because we didn’t even have a boy’s name picked out yet! James sometimes looks like a miniature version of Pete, but he’s starting to look like himself too. He’s so cute and sweet (Sweet Baby James is very appropriate for him!) and is a pretty laid back little guy. He is mild mannered and gentle; he fusses when he’s hungry and only really cries when he’s in need of a diaper change. Pete is adjusting to his new role, and loves to be our special helper. He oversees all diaper changes and lets us know when he thinks James needs something. So far, so good … James fits right into our little family and we are so happy he’s here!
We are overjoyed to become Nana and Bumpa to Baby Marr #3 ! Sweet Baby James is just precious! Pete is a joy to watch as he
assumes his new role of big brother to James.
Angel Brienna’s spirit is there as well, proudly watching over her two little brothers and her amazing parents at this very special family time.
Hugs and love to all of you!
Welcome Baby James! We are so happy to finally meet you! You have been born into an amazing, loving family and Birdie & I are so happy for all of you.
All our love to you, Pete, Momma & Dada!
Welcome to the family, James! I’m glad you’re not a big blue truck. Pete has enough of them, and I bet he’s willing to share. 🙂
Pete is going to be a great big brother. It’s so cute watching him interact with James and watching you and Pat be “new” parents again.
Love to you all!
