Welcome to the world, Miles

Our newest addition, Miles Joaquin Avery was born February 25. He was a nice, healthy 9lbs 6oz. He's a mellow, content soul. I already can't remember what life was like before he was here. He completes our family and adds a great sense of balance to our lives. He eats well, sleeps well, and is so sweet and cuddly.
Lillie is completely in love with him. He has received literally hundreds of kisses from her. She smiles every time she sees him and wants to check on him often. She says "Miles" very well and also calls him "brother". She seems to know when he needs me and plays, looks at books, or kisses him while I'm tending to Miles. Luckily I have a lot of her books memorized, so she turns the pages and I recite them from heart. I'm going to keep this nice and short, because I'm tired and going to bed.
You know I must love all of you because I don't like having to look at myself in the picture below. I did just give birth about 4 hours before it was taken. I have more pics to share but have yet to get them off of the camera. These were taken by auntie Laura...
