Patten is here!

That's right.

Patten Fredrick Johnson arrived Friday morning October 12th at 9:50 weighing 8lbs 4 oz. and measuring 22 inches long (can you say - they should have induced Kristin 10 days earlier on Patten's due date?)

We couldn't be happier. He seems perfect to us in every way, even his crying brings us joy.

Unfortunately, Patten has jaundice (or, is jaundiced?) and is spending some time under the ultra violet lights at the hospital. He couldn't come home with us today, Sunday, but we hope he will join us tomorrow. In the meantime we visit him every 3 hours for feeding. We can't wait to have him home.

Enjoy the pictures.


Swaddled Patten in his crib.
Attempting the perfect mouth posture for a good drink.


He spent most of the days sleeping.


Gotta love the pumpkin hat!
