Baby Rafe is here!

We had baby Rafe on August 26th. Everything went really well. They started me at 8:15 AM and I had him at 10:11 AM. It was so fast. He weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces and he was 19 inches long. We named him Rafe William Hales. He is just a week old, but so far he is a pretty good baby.



Ryder is wearing his "I'm the big brother" shirt. He was so excited to wear it.




Ryder loves Baby Rafe. He is always giving him kisses.



Our family of four!

He is so adorable! Such sweet pictures. You have the cutest family! I am a little concerned that you look so good when you just had a baby. What the heck?! That's so great they started you and it only took two hours. Congrats!
