jude's a big brother

We are happy to announce a second edition of the Oak Park Baby...Jude is a big brother!

Harrison "Harry" Nathaniel Belt Miller joined us on Tuesday, July 19th at 4:57pm. Here's the 411...he was 6lbs 15oz, and 19 inches long. Thanks to the generous help of Grandma Carole and Chuck, Jude arrived at the hospital moments after birth and was able to visit his new sibling

A doctor suggested we set Harry in the baby warmer so he saw his parents and then could be introduced to his baby brother. This is the first moment Jude saw Harry. He said "wow" and giggled.

Baby Harry was induced because of concerns about him being jumbo baby after jude came out a 9lbs 4oz. Turns out Harry came in tiny, in Miller terms, at under 7 pounds.

We are home from Prentice hospital now and slowly teaching Jude the difference between a tickle on baby harry and an overly aggressive push, which to his three year old brain are the same thing. Jude keeps saying how cute his baby brother is, and how happy he is that we got to meet him.
