hail, hail, the gang's all here!

Spencer managed to squeak out of the NICU by the hair of his teeth on Sunday afternoon! We love having him home finally. Whitney and Stuart are enamored.

They just can't kiss and pat and hug him enough.

Unbelievably tasty cheeks. Seriously.

I love it when they chortle in their sleep.

Cute just runs in the family.

welcome to the fam, little guy!

Spencer surprised us by arriving about 3 1/2 weeks early. He's beautiful and mostly healthy--although some sort of "congenital pneumonia" landed him a round of antibiotics in the NICU for a week. But he's progressing quickly and graduated today from the big fat CPAP to this sleek little nose tube thingy.

He also had his first bath, first tubal feeding, upgraded to a big-boy crib, and graduated to the second room of the NICU (I don't know understand the implications of any of that other than the fact that it is all positive.)
(He wasn't crazy about the sponge bath. )


This is actually pre-bath time. What a little angel face.

This is post-bath time. You can't see, but his hair is blond...for now.
And if you're interested, he was 6 lbs. 9 oz. and 19 inches.
