Getting to Know Baby J

Baby J has come and captured our hearts...  
We thought we'd take a moment to share a little more about Gasperini-Ville's newest citizen!

Name: Baby J
Initials: JWG
Occupation: baby extraordinaire 
Description: sweet, calm, wide-eyed when awake (usually because brothers are smothering him!); cries when diaper is changed and grunts when hungry (too cute!)
Nicknames: "J", "JJ", "froggy"
Hobbies: nursing, sleeping, smiling while sleeping, burping, tooting(!)
Favorite activities: eating and sleeping
Favorite color: NA (can't really see yet!)
Favorite show: anything and everything Olympics (his arrival had excellent timing!)
Biggest fans: M and T
Best Kept Secret: sleeping for the last three nights for 6+ hour stretches (B-mama doesn't know what to do with herself!)
Claim to Fame: back to birthweight at 6 days
Other notables:

Long "piano-playing" fingers (according to Mimi!)

Relatively big feet (unlike anyone else in the family!)  
This has earned him the title "tree frog".

Small, sweet squinty eyes.  (hmm... wonder where those came from!? ;)

And lots of fine brown hair--much more than the other boys had!

Together these wonderful things make him the boy we love so much!!
Welcome to the family, sweet baby J!
God bless!!

Oh B I'm all teary eyed reading your blog tonight. I just spent quite awhile in "Gasperini-ville." The best picture of all was the one of you hugging the boys when they saw you after coming home from the hospital with Baby J. LOVED IT! I can't wait to talk to you soon my friend. Oh I'm so happy for you all!!! Love you...

What an adorable little tree frog you have there! I echo the "Go Baby J" cheers for sleeping so well at night! Hurrah! Hurrah! (from our newest song, "The Ants Go Marching one by one, hurrah! hurrah!...). And he's got lots of brown hair! Cutie pie!

Oh B-mama! Congratulations! What a beautiful little boy you have brought into the world! I am so happy that you are reveling in these early days with J, and the rest of your boys, and can directly sympathize with so much of your joy in bringing the newest member of the family into your home. I hope that our boys can meet for a playdate some day :)
