dutch søren

At long last.... he's here! Liz & Zach (well, mostly Liz) gave birth to sweet little Dutch Søren (and yes the line in the o is important) last night around 8:30ish. He's beautiful, weighs 8 lbs 12 oz 4.5 pounds of which are in his cheeks, making him quite jolly. Just in time for the holidays!!

Kevin and I went to visit them in the hospital on my lunch break and just couldn't get enough! He's peaceful, attentive and quite smart I think. Here are some pictures of him from the visit:

note the wondrousness of the cheeks:

my favorite picture that I didn't take, "gnome dutch," who is asking what in the world Willis was actually talking about:

So dang cute! I could hold his cheeks all day! More pictures to come, I'm sure.
