As I’m sure you all already know, our SWEET baby has arrived!
Carson Spencer Banner was born Sunday August 17, 2014 at 4:27 PM and he is just as sweet as he can be!
He weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long.
We are all absolutely IN LOVE with him!! He has been such a joy and blessing to our family already. The kids LOVE holding him and would hold him all day long if I let them…
Kev’s enjoyed some snuggle time with him too…
And I’ve been busy taking pictures of him every 2 seconds…
Jimmer (the dog) has been extremely worried, yet overprotective of the new baby. I don’t think he knows quite what to think…
Well, I’m definitely very worn out and sleep deprived, so I won’t be able to blog as often as I like for the next little bit. When I get some time, I’ll fill you in on a little more of the details of his birth story.
I want to thank all of you for your sweet comments and support. You are all wonderful! I love you all. xoxo

Thanks!! I’ve been trying to sleep as much as I can. It’s been a little bit easier because I don’t have a toddler running around!
