L.C. holds C.M. for the First Time

L.C. gets a big kick out of her little brother.

It's hard to say "little brother"

....seems like just yesterday she was C.M.'s size!

Welcome Home C.M.!!!

I.C. is an old pro at this big brother stuff!

The oldest and youngest boys in the household.

C.H. is pretty happy to be holding C.M. and it
looks like C.M. is actually enjoying it!

Our two snuggle bunnies!

T.H. couldn't be a more proud big brother!

He has declared that C.M. is he newest "best friend".

T.H. is not fazed or upset by C.M.'s occasional fussiness.

He really likes to calm his little bubby down : )

C.M. Makes His Debut to the Public

C.M. O'Dwyer arrived at 4:57 p.m. on

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 after a very brief labor

and exceptionally speedy delivery!

Aunt Tina was first on the red carpet to greet the
newest celebrity in the O'Dwyer family.

C.M.'s First Visitors at the Hospital

Aunt Jac is already planning when she can give

C.M. his first bath! It's a rite of passage to get

scrubbed pink by Aunt Jac : )

Mimi checks out grandchild #9 to make sure he's a "keeper".

Poppy gets some rocking in with C.M. before
heading to the house where 5 other grandkids
can't wait to see him and hear all about their
new brother!

Mam-maw wonders if she's holding a baby
or a mummy. C.M. slept for several hours
after his circumcision.

Pap-paw O'Dwyer's face says it all!
Grandchild #11 for Mam-maw and Pap-paw.

C.M. at Birth

Mommy and Daddy are so happy to see their "little" boy!

This is one VERY PROUD Daddy!

C.M. checks in for the baby boxing heavy weight
division at a whopping 9 pounds, 11.9 ounces
and 22 inches long!

Daddy is very serious about his job
of cutting the umbilical cord.

Being born is such a rude awakening!

Before & After C.M.'s Arrival

Waiting at the hospital for a room, we

decided to snap some "before" pics of the

41 week pregnant Mommy!

Front view is not too bad : )

Wow!!!

Look at the side view!

It's a wonder I didn't fall over while walking around.

C.M. - happy and healthy OUTSIDE of Mommy!
This was much more comfortable for Mommy
and I don't think he was complaining too
much about his change of locations.

Saturday Morning Cartoons

C.H. and T.H. learn that watching Saturday morning cartoon

just isn't the same when sitting with two wiggly little sisters!
