Our little man has arrived!

We are so excited to announce that our sweet little baby has arrived!!!

Spencer Gordon Dix

Arrived on December 20, 2008 (4:08 pm)
Weight: 7 lbs. 2.5 ounces
Length: 20 1/2 inches

Now, these are just a bunch of pictures that we've taken so far. They're not in any particular order. Enjoy!

We are so happy to have this sweet little boy in our home and in our family. He is adorable and we just cuddle him and kiss him all day long!!!

The labor and delivery went very smoothly and both Mommy and baby are doing great!




Spencer and Daddy right before his first bath on Christmas eve.


Spencer and Mommy right after his first bath. No pictures of the bath, it took both of us to bathe him and he wasn't too happy about it. :)


Spencer's sweet little face right after arriving home.



Yay, we're leaving the hospital! We were so nervous putting him in his carseat. He is so tiny and it was hard to get him to put his little arms through the buckles. Look at that cute face!!!! We love him. :)


Spencer's outfit to go home from the hospital. Look how big the arms are on the little sleeper. He's tiny and cute and so cuddly!

Proud Papa.

Congratulations! Spencer and Thomas are birthday buddies. I guess it is only fair since Gordon and Jonathan are... If you need any tips on December 20th birthdays, I am only two years ahead of you.

He is adorable. I am glad everything went well for you.

Jen said...

He is so handsome! Thanks for sharing the exciting news!!!

Jess said...

GordonandChrissy said...

Thank you so much everyone! We are so in love with him and just look at him and kiss him all day!

Sarah, I'll be taking you up on those birthday tips. We want to make sure he feels like he has a special birthday every year. So I'd love to hear all about how what you do. :)

Jess, we're so excited to see everyone this summer too! It's been a long time since we've seen so much of the family! It will be great. :)

He is so cute! We couldn't be happier for you guys.

Becky said...

Ahhh! I love the pictures! I remember that first bath too. We don't have pictures either :)
And yes, that first drive in the car seat when they seem too little to fit and I had to ride in the back with the baby cause I was too paranoid to not be able to see her at all times...So cute! He's so totally adorable. I agree with Gordon's mom. I see a lot of Gordon in him, especially his profile, but he has a Thorne look too! I'm jealous mom & dad get to see him and I won't until he's a lot bigger :( Give him loves and kisses from Aunt Becky

Aaron and Melissa said...

What a beautiful baby :) He is darling!!!! Congrats!!!! What a great Christmas gift! I'm glad you're home and both doing well!!! Keep kissing him... he'll grow up way faster than you want him to :(

jen and brody said...

When you said in another post that you were less than two weeks away, did you ever think that you really meant FOUR DAYS!

So exciting. It's great to see all of your smiles. That baby is darn cute, if you ask me. Chrissy, you looked radiant holding him in the hospital!

Todd and Meagan said...

Yeah! Congratulations :)

Mark and/or Lisa said...

Congratulations you guys! He is such a beautiful baby! I can tell you guys have so much love for him already -- what a lucky little boy. ~Lisa

Liz said...

He is absolutely gorgeous! He's one lucky little boy to get such awesome loving parents. Congratulation!!

Jacqui said...

WooHoo! Congratulations! Little boys are the best! I'm happy to hear that everything went well. Good luck!

Jacqui said...

Oh and he's beautiful. I meant to write that :)

Jen said...

Oh my goodness! He is one good looking boy! Those first baths are tricky! I had forgotten how to give a tiny baby a bath when Ellis was born and I had to learn all over! He is darling! Congratulations! Isn't having a baby right before Christmas amazing? It made Christmas so much more real to me when I was holding kennedy as a brand new baby thinking about what Christmas is really about!

GordonandChrissy said...

Jen- Definitely. It has been an amazing holiday season. We feel very blessed to have him here. :)

Stephanie said...

I LOVE HIM - You've been talking to Tay this last week, so I feel that I needed to let you know my feelings. :) I'm so happy for you guys; having a baby is the best ever. Are you parents in town yet? How long are they staying?

Mrs. Horton said...

I can see a lot of both of you in him. I can't to see what he looks like in a few months!

GordonandChrissy said...

We love him too!!! He's so cute and sweet and ... great. :)

My parents will be here tomorrow (Tuesday) and probably stay for a week and a half or so. We're excited for them to see him!

And Emily, we are so excited for you guys to come out too! It will be fun to see how much he has changed by then. :)

Whit said...

Oh so fun! Congrats! He is totally precious!

Ken, Alicia, Abby, and Ethan Lund said...

I could've sworn that we already left a comment. I am embarrassed and wrong! So, "Congrats!!! He's here!" Darling too!
