Ewan Barrett Casper came into the world fast and furiously on Wednesday, June 23. We left for the hospital at 8:30-ish, after having two hours of labor. He was born at 10:34 p.m.
He was 8 pounds, 2 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long. He has very little hair on his head, super long fingers and toes and perfectly red lips.
Ewan met his older brother on Thursday. Eli was very gentle, kissed and hugged him and then asked lots of questions:
Did he come out of your belly button? (yes)
Is it June? (we had told him his baby brother was coming in June)
Will he eat my books? (Eli is very concerned about this!)
Does he have teeth? (in relation to the book-eating question)
Does he play with toys? (no) Well, then what does he play with?
He has been very very sweet to his baby brother so far. He very much wanted to hug and kiss him in the hospital. Now that he is home, he wants to sleep with him.
"He could sleep right in here (his crib) with me, Daddy," Eli told Michael tonight.
And he wanted to talk to Michael about the baby before bedtime. He asked if his baby brother could go running with him. Michael said "Maybe. We could put him in a stroller or I could carry him." Eli added: "Or I could hold his hand."
