Welcome into the world, Sean Patton Bradley!!!

Sean Patton Bradley (pronounced "shawn pat-ton") was born at 10:29am on Sept 10, 2010. He surprised us all with his size: he weighed 10 lbs (4530g) and was 22 1/4 inches (56.5cm) long! The birth was wonderful, a successful VBAC, and we are happy to be a family of 4 now!


Katie, before going to the hospital.

Just minutes old!

They waited to weigh and measure him until he had snuggled with Momma for about half an hour.

Sean was very alert, it was hard to get a pic with his eyes open though cuz of the bright light.

A proud Dad!

Getting acquainted with Momma a little more...

...unlike Mark, Sean LOVES being wrapped up like a little burrito.

Mark gets to meet his little brother!

He held him, sniffed and kissed him, sang to him and talked to him.

"Momma, he's so cute!"

Sean snoozing with Dad while Momma took a shower.

1 day old!

Big brother Mark watching Sean get ready to come home.

Dressed and ready - he didn't much care for wearing pants though...

We are so glad you are finally here, little Sean!
