Welcome Caz!

We welcomed our sweet boy Caz on October 20! He looks just like his big sister and big brother when they were born, though he is the runt of the litter weighing in at ONLY 8 lbs 10 oz. :) Check him out...

Daddy got to help clean him up and get him comfortable in the nursery. He was born to the tune of Ramblin Man, which is certainly fitting given the Allman Bros hometown of Macon, Georgia.

Mari Cagle was anxious to be the first to hold him after school. She loves holding him most of the time as long as he's not spitting up or making a dirty diaper. :) She is looking forward to when he does a little less sleeping and a little more playing.

Nate was a little more interested in the big brother present Caz got for him. I guess Caz shouldn't have gotten him such a great present.

But once he broke away from the Pokemon, he loved his new brother. In particular, he loved his soft head.

It wasn't long before Caz assumed the familiar sleep position reminding us again of Mari Cagle and Nate as infants.

Mari Cagle was back on day 2 for more snuggling with the little guy.

This was one of the last times Nate got to hold him for a week or so as we found out he had bronchitis/walking pneumonia. So he had to keep his distance until the antibiotic kicked in. Now he likes to talk to Caz and show his new brother all his toys. He's been sweet to read Caz stories too.

Our sweet three!!

Ready to go home on day 4.

When we left the hospital Caz was slightly jaundiced, so we had to go for check-ups on day 5 and day 6 for weight checks and to make sure his jaundice numbers were dwindling. In the meantime we enjoyed a few sun baths. Thankfully, by day 6, his weight was climbing and his jaundice measurements were smaller so we were in the clear.

Our resident Caz holder.

He already seems to be fixating on the toys in his bouncy seat. He enjoys the bouncy seat a lot, it seems to lull him to sleep often.

Nate and MC were getting ready to go trunk-or-treating. Caz enjoyed posing with a pretty witch and Chipper Jones.

Husker game day...the gang in all red. Caz is 1 week, 3 days old on this Saturday.

The boys in their matching #10 jerseys. Helu Jr. had a record-breaking day that day so it looks like my fellas bring him good luck.

Caz is 1 week and 4 days old today. He is fitting in quite nicely around here. We are of course still adjusting with the help of Grammy & PopPop for a week and Nana for a second week. With their help and Caz's sweet disposition, I must say things are going great! We'll try to keep the pictures coming. Love to all. Caz can't wait to meet everyone at Christmas!!
