Meet The Grandparents...And Everyone Else!

Tagg came home with us from the hospital on Monday afternoon after all the legal papers were signed. He's officially ours! Well, we have to go to court in 6 months for it to be legal-legal, but this is pretty close!

After driving about 5 miles an hour in the slow lane on the way home (and we thought that was just a scene from Knocked Up!), Scott and I got home and looked at each other and said, "There's a baby in our house! We have a baby!"

The whole family got to come and meet him and hold him and he was welcomed with so much love. The Grandmas and Grandpas are thrilled, as are the new aunts and uncles. He must have felt like he was facing the paparazzi, there were so many cameras going!

Morgan keeps looking at everyone who visits like "Uh, are you taking him home with you? I know he's not staying here forever...right?" She's actually been very good with him and even condescends to sleep in his general area now - as long as he's not crying!

We've been trying to find some of his cute little outfits that actually fit him. For some reason, we all thought he was going to be a little bigger than he is. So cute and tiny! He's a good eater and a good sleeper and just gets cuter every day. He makes the cutest little squeaks and moans and has a thousand little facial expressions. We're all amazed at how long his feet and toes are! We pretty much just sit and stare at him all day long!

We are settling into our routine at home. Both of us are amazed at how much we fell in love with him and how fun it is to be a parent. We've been peed on, spit up on, had some serious diaper blowouts and a few sleepless nights ... and it's the best thing in the world. We just couldn't love him any more! I feel like I'm on the verge of tears all the time because he is such a miracle to us.

Thanks to everyone for your support and well wishes. He's a very lucky baby to join this family and network of friends!
