Charles Jay Thacker joined our family July 25th at 6:31am. Our little boy was not so little - he weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces! Despite his larger than expected size, labor and delivery went very smooth for Becky and she is recovering well.
Later that day, Olivia came to the hospital to meet Charlie. She was pretty excited and loved holding her new baby brother!

Olivia enjoyed decorating everyone with her "Big Sister" stickers |

Getting ready to go home! |
Charlie has been a very good boy since coming home. His favorite pastime is sleeping. He finds it quite a chore to open his eyes...perhaps it's the extra chubby cheeks?

Oh! There they are! |
Olivia has been adjusting to life with a baby in the house. She is pretty good at washing her hands before touching him (after we ask her 5 times) and likes to help Charlie with his pacifier (by shoving it in his mouth when he is sleeping and perfectly content). She still loves to hold him, especially so she can lay her head on his face.
We all love our sweet Charlie and are SO happy to have him in our family!
