Welcome to the world, Colin Ellis Marmonti!

Baby Colin was born yesterday afternoon at around 3:40 PM or so. He was 7.1 lbs and 19" long. He has (as my sister would call it), a "butt chin" (his Dad's chin dimple). What a tiny guy! I took a couple of pictures with Brian's phone:

Mom and baby are doing very well. Though Cynthia went in to have her water broken early in the morning, she needed no drugs whatsoever. We arrived to find her bustling around the room in her own clothing (no johnnies here!) and saying that, aside from being tired and not very pleasant to use the bathroom everything was going well. He's taken to eating very easily and they are expecting to be discharged sometime on Thursday.

The cutest thing I think was seeing JD's excitement when he arrived to meet his baby brother for the first time. He was just absolutely beaming, and couldn't wait to hold him (kept calling him his "baby bro"). I got a perfect picture of them together but it was a bit dark, so Brian has to do some cleaning up before I share it.

His last name is actually "Ellis Marmonti" (no hyphen), so he'll be able to go by Colin Ellis or Colin Marmonti legally.

Yay for more Marmontis! :)

"Holy @#$% - B is holding a baby!"

This is the second one. He held Caden after the Kung Fu instructors kind of threw him into Brian's arms (and really, are you going to argue with a couple of Kung Fu instructors)? :)

My sister went this route: "Come on Brian, if I can squeeze him out of my vagina I think you can be man enough to hold him". She has a way with words. :)

When do you want to try and get together? Want to pick a day in mid-February (not a Tuesday)?
