It's a boy!!

Jacob Christian Stiles was born at 6:42 AM on Sunday, February 11, 2007. He weighs in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces and measures 21 inches long. All fingers and toes are present and accounted for. Delivery was smooth and the baby is happy, healthy and adjusting well to the outside world.

Here's Jacob immediately after birth; he is still wet and getting toweled off.



Here he is a little later:



Here he is, dressed up in hospital attire:

Here's Mom and baby taking a well-deserved rest after a long, long day:

Congratulations John and Mandi!
We are grateful for the safe and healthy arrival of little Jacob. Thank you, thank you, for sending the pictures! Some were difficult to view through my tears. Jacob is BEAUTIFUL! I look at him and simply thank God.
Get lots of rest--the fun is just beginning. By the way, you think he's cute and precious now? Know this: It will get better and better and better as he grows into each new phase of life. Happy Parenthood!
