Welcome, Rowan!

My cousin Hilary & her husband Noah welcomed their baby Rowan on Friday. He's happy, healthy, and has a nice shock of brown hair. Welcome to the world, dear baby! Hilary and I were born 3 months apart and grew up together. It's amazing that our babies were also born 3 months apart in the same birthing center, and will be able to grow up together too! Susannah is thrilled about her new playmate.

Susannah, Charles, and I got to meet him yesterday for the first time. It was incredible to see how much bigger Susannah is compared to a newborn. We see her every day so we don't notice the growth, but she is hard at work growing fast. She's still eating like a horse to fuel all that growing.

I haven't downloaded the pictures of Rowan yet, so here's a gratuitous picture of Susannah in her new legwarmers, arms a-whirring as usual:
