Silas Wayne Edwards

Our son was born today at 8:38 am. After months of going by the name "baby Fud", we decided he was more of a "Silas Wayne" shortly after birth. Labor started at about 3:55 am. I will leave any other labor details to Jen.

Stats:
02/10/2010 (8 days late)
9 lb-13 oz (4.45 kilo)
21.25 inches (54 cm)


calm (this is how he spent most of his first day)...

not so calm...

The new family shot...

Silas Wayne was born on the eve of Grandpa Wayne's birthday. Another thing they have in common is that they were both whopper babies (or in fisherman's terms "keepers")...

not quite 10#...

All that work can create quite an appetite (btw, it is worth mentioning here that Jen is awesome)...

The family gathers around...

Ella loved it. She just held him and giggled...
...and kissed him...

...and looked him over real good (among her first questions: "Where is da belly-button?" and "Where is da nipples?")...

Welcome to Earth, Baby Fud Silas Wayne

Congratulations! Having a boy is lots of fun, and it looks like Ella is going to have her hands full with such a big "little brother"!

He's beautiful! We think he might have a good start on the Klein "jowl". That phone call from Jen made Grand Uncle Danny's day. May Silas grow to be a mighty warrior for the Lord Jesus. Love you.

Congrats!!! I would agree....He's a "keeper". That first picture of your two kids together is so sweet and reminds me of the picture that I STILL have on my dresser of my two and their first picture together!! To date, that is still my most precious picture! Love Tina C, Cassi, & Joel!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I'm so excited for you, and I love his name. I also have to second what you said about Jen. She is really awesome!

Congratulations! He's a handsome little guy ... must get his good looks from Jen. :) You guys have been great parents to Ella and will surely be to Silas as well. God has blessed you with two special treasures to sharpen and send out as arrows to impact their world for Christ some day. Thanking God for you and the new addition to your very blessed family ... Pastor Jim and family

Wow, congrats on the new member of the family. He is beautiful! (this about the only time it's appropriate to tell a guy he's beautiful). Aaron you got some really great shots, tell Ella that she has to take care of him better than nini and that she cant bite off his fingers and toes!
love you guys,
