Welcome Julian

I am so happy to announce that Lukas' little brother, JULIAN RHYS arrived Sunday July 14th.  He weighed in at 8 pounds 6 ounces (6 ounces bigger than his big bro) and was 21 inches long (1 inch longer than Luke). He arrived 2 days before his due date, which I was very thankful for.  I'll give the details of his arrival at another time, for all you wondering if I went au natural or got shot up with drugs!

Lukas is smitten with his little brother and frequently comes over to tickle his feet and pet his head.  If Julian is crying Lukas comes over and says so sweetly "it's ok Julian" and often comes to sit next to me when I'm feeding Julian.  He kisses his head and knees often and says "I love you Julian" all on his own without any prompting from us.  I really think he loves his brother and is excited he is out of mommy's tummy. 

Lukas came to the hospital the day Julian was born and his daddy introduced him to his little brother.  (I'll share that sweet video whenever we get it uploaded.)  But the most hilarious part about the introduction was that right after meeting Julian, Lukas looks at me and asks, in all seriousness, "Where's my little sister?"  And every day since then he has asked when his little sister will be here and if she's going to come out of mommy's tummy!  So it appears that he really likes this big brother gig and is ready for more siblings!  I think mommy needs a little time before we entertain that thought...

And now for some pictures of our two guys side by side - do you think they look alike?  I feel like they are identical!  Who is who???

Do you think they look alike?

Lukas or Julian?

And one more side by side...who is who???

I'll load some more pictures soon.  We're so in love!!!
