Welcome, Alexander William Lau!!

Alex was born via planned C-section at 0824 CET (Germany's time zone) at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, on Monday the 21 of July. He weighed in at 7lbs, 2.2 oz. and was 20 3/4 inches long.


Mom...Dad...
and Big Brother Brennan are SO excited he's finally here (so am I!)!

Brennan is, of course, still adjusting to the realization that Alex isn't just another name for belly, but so far has been very gentle with his brother.

Shannon and Alex came home from the hospital today and are doing well so far. Shannon's parents are able to be there and help out for a couple of weeks...yay for grandparents!!

I'll just leave you with a couple of my favorite pics.


**Just a little note of explanation on this one: I actually got this onesie for Brennan, and Shannon had gotten so many clothes, this one got misplaced. So when she was going thru Brennan's old stuff for Alex, she found it and put it aside. Apparently it has already come in handy, since one of the nurses thought he was a girl because of all his long pretty hair. (In case you can't read it, it says "Before you ask, I'm a boy.") So yay for a successful gift!**

Congratulations, Shannon, Vinnie, and Brennan!

And welcome, Baby Alex!
