Boden Snow Has Arrived!!!

 

January 19th at 5:56 pm, Boden Snow was born. Such a precious baby boy! We are instantly and endlessly in love.

This sweet baby looked calmly into the eyes of whoever held him in those first hours.
He wasn't crazy about he idea of the baby scale sling at first. 
But quieted down quickly as long as soothing hands and voices were near.
A short trip across the room to the electronic scale verified his weight at 7 pounds 4 ounces! His length is 19".


Just minutes old, he stares into his Daddy's eyes, and seems to be saying, "You got me, right?"

 

 
One of the many wonderful things about the birthing center is that Boden's brothers got to come in and meet him as soon as Mama was ready. They are immediately smitten!


This lucky baby boy had all four of his grandparents lay hands and hearts on him within an hour of his birth. 


 

 
 
My heart melted to see the tenderness and awe displayed by his brothers. Boden seems quite at ease with the attention Canyon and Trek bestow upon him.
 




A happy family of five! 

'Not so sure about this car seat thing... but at four hours old, it was time to go home.

The next morning...it was all Canyon and Trek could do to take turns holding Boden.
Mama giving him his first massage in sunlight streaming through the window. Relaxed! 
 Trek said, "I am so happy we finally got our baby"
This is the picture Canyon wanted to print to take to school Tuesday when he went back. Such a proud big brother!

What a beautiful family of five!



And of course a very smitten Gram!
