A New Baby Arrives!

We're so excited to meet our beautiful new grandson at 11:33 p.m. on July 27.  His name is Oliver Bradley Taylor and he arrived weighing 8 lbs. 11 oz and is 20.5 inches.  He chose to come posterior, which made his delivery more complicated, but he is a darling boy.  Erik said Alicia was composed throughout, although he said the epidural made her high as a kite. He said he was the one that fell apart--when Alicia had to endure a little cutting.  Alicia looked thoroughly beautiful when we first saw her, not like she'd been in labor for hours.
We each enjoyed holding the brand new boy.


He is singing his first anthem. 
I believe it goes, "I don't like this new place.  Inside of Mommy was nicer."
 He sang for his great grandma Taylor, too.
Oliver is a beautiful boy.  We're so excited to have him join our family.
