Ryan James Shaha was born on 24 October at 1702 hours.  We changed his name because both Lucy and Hailey have been calling him Ryan for months and one of his nurses had a very strong Irish brogue.  Joe was the only holdout for the name Aaron and Lucy and Hailey finally convinced him of the error of his ways. Despite a few issues early on that landing him in the NICU in Savannah, Ryan is now gaining weight, eating a ton, and being doted upon. His sisters won't leave him alone and unless Joe is around to intervene they will soon be dressing him in pink and putting bows in his hair. Thank you all for your prayers - those and the Priesthood blessing he received right before being evacuated to the NICU made all the difference. He will learn how to box before kindergarten. We tried to post a video but it didn't work. We may try again in the future although he doesn't do very many exciting things in it - just kind of lays there, looks at the camera cross-eyed and drools. Not terribly entertaining.

What a beautiful baby! He looks like he's been sun tanning on the beach! Your kids are so lucky they have that beautiful golden glow… mine are all pastey white! Thanks for posting these Bethany, and I love the name! So glad to hear you are doing well. xoxo

Yay! So glad he's here and doing well! We're going to have to get used to calling him Ryan now that we've been calling him Aaron for so long. :) I think he looks like Lucy!
