Baby Nico!

He's here! And we're in love.

Nico Stanford Ligairi * 10.21.2010 * 2:10am * 7lbs 5 oz * 19 in

After an unexpected and whirlwind labor, Nico [NEE-koh] was born 40 minutes after we arrived at the hospital Thursday morning. (Birth story to come.) As you can see, he's much darker than Zoë and absolutely perfect. I felt great 5 minutes after having him and we went home Thursday night, where he's been eating ever since. Zoë loves being a big sister and is so sweet to her baby Nico.

Lots more pictures to come!
