Alexander the Great!





Hello all-
I apologize for the delay in getting something on this blog.
As some of you may know - our Alexander Christopher arrived September 18th. Alex surprised us and came about a week early, which is probably a good thing since he weighed in at a healthy 10 lbs 8 oz (just 4 ounces shy of the Syrett girls put together!) and 21.5 inches long. We were a bit shocked by the full head of BLOND hair he has . . .looks like the Johnson side came through on this one! He seemed to come out smiling from day one, and was impressing us with his facial expressions in the hospital. He has continued to smile and "coo" even more each day - - looks like he will be a talker just like his brother (and mother)!

He is a WONDERFUL baby and we have been enjoying him so much. Nicolas is such a great big brother and has been in love with him from the moment he arrived. He always wants to be around his baby brother and give him as many kisses as he can.

We enjoyed a visit from Dad and Edda shortly after Alex's arrival - they were both a HUGE help to our expanded family.
We are truly in awe of this little miracle and truly thankful for this new blessing in our lives!

Congratulations Sarah and Rob!!! Wow, I can't believe how much he weighed!!! We were excited that Brigham was our biggest baby weighing 7 lbs 5 oz. Keep posting pictures, I love to see and hear what Alex is doing because Brigham is just 3 weeks behind. I can't wait for the cooing!!!!

Thankyou so much, it is so fun to share your joy. He is beautiful, and yes, the blonde hair is the Johnson (Nilson) side of the family. Grandma Johnson said the Edda fell in love with Alex, and I can see why. Trudy

So cute! Thanks for posting Sarah. Sept 18th is a great day for a birth -- Jemma's birthday too. The photos are so good to see.

congratulations.
I think you win for having the biggest baby so far. That is very impressive! One of my favorite things is a new born. Have fun!
