John Angus Patton

Another beautifully fast delivery from a good and merciful God. Angus (first name after his grandfather John Alphonsus Lehner - yeah, we didn't keep that middle name) is a beefy 8lbs 15oz, and a stumpy 18.25 inches long. He's sweet and round and chubby and may be the cutest Patton boy yet.

Excuse my state of undress. I just had a baby.

This baby in fact:

Proud big brothers with "babyangus":



Lots of questions like "did he just sort of crawl out?":




Our first thumbsucker!

The Best OB Ever, Dr. Crowe. I love this woman, and I love that she dropped her groceries (except for the ice cream which she put away first) to come and deliver our speedy boy:

Having a baby is hard work:

Well, if he doesn't look like an Angus! I can see him throwing a discus very soon. He makes me smile :)

Crawling out is one way to describe it, I guess... He is precious! So scrumptious that I must eat him.

Glad to hear how much you love Dr. Crowe. It's good to know future Patton babies are in good hands.

Whitney said...

Oh...and Angus is edible.

Go ahead and make your big announcement now Whitney. New job and new school are all decoys, arent they?

Whitney said...

Oh please, no. Not yet. I am already too emotionally weak from all the "traitor" comments people are giving me at work. That's right, I work in a middle school.
