I Love This Sweet Boy!

My Handsome Boys

After giving Tytan a bath I decided to do his hair up in a little fauxhawk.

Daddy finished taking a shower and getting dressed, and when he came out, he was sporting the same 'do. I had to get a few pics of my handsome boys with matching hairdo's!

Beautiful Babies

This was the first meeting between Tytan and his beautiful cousin Danica. It was so fun to have them together! We can't wait for baby Kaimen to join us soon. We just love these sweet babies and are so lucky to have them in our family.

These two definitely come from the same family. So Cute!

Poor Tytan was very hungry and thought Danica's lil elbow was his bottle. He kept trying to suck on her arm to ease his hunger. Luckily for Danica, Tytan eventually found his own fist to suck on.

Bath Time!

Randall and I were really excited to give Tytan his first bath at home. It was so fun and the whole time he screamed, we laughed at how cute his lil body is. I especially enjoyed bundling him up in his towel at the end...

Going Home!

It was so exciting to pack Tytan up in his car seat and go home! As with every other first time experience, he was not initially very fond of the car seat, but he warmed up to it quickly and fell right to sleep. Mommy and Daddy are so happy to have him home at last!

Our Sweet Lil Boy!

Here are a few shots of Tytan right before we were discharged from the hospital. He is such a good boy! He let daddy snap away like crazy with the camera and even posed and smirked for a few of them. Every picture just makes us smile with pride!

Baby's 1st Outfit

I know I'm turning into one of those people who blogs about silly things. I mean, come on...Tytan's 1st outfit? I know. . .but mommy just thinks he is way too cute in these pictures to not include them. It was fun getting him all dressed up in his new clothes. It took a lil getting used to, but by the time we finished there were no more tears!

Tytan Meets his Uncles

Tytan had several guests while we were in the hospital. He especially enjoyed meeting his new Uncles!

Uncle Josh introduced Tytan to his big cousin Razzie. She's so cute!

The Bath of a Tytan!

Shortly after Tytan was born the nurse pried him from my fingers to give him his first bath. I wanted to be there to see everything that was happening, but unfortunately I had to stay in the bed while the doc sewed me up (ah, the joys of an episiotomy!) Daddy took some great pictures...

Right on Time. . .But Sooo Overdue!

Okay, so Chelsea deferred the opportunity of dropping the news to me. Please bear with me, as I am an inexperienced and very nervous blogger! My aim is to express my infinite love and gratitude for my beautiful Eternal Companion, Chelsea. She is the real hero behind this story. After 9 long, difficult months we welcomed Tytan Arona Faiva to our little family. He was 8lbs. 1.6oz and 20 inches long. He looks a lot like his Daddy, but with his Mommy's stunning good looks! How we love him! Here are a few pics of the awesome event:

The happiest day of our lives!

A record-setting crowd in attendance. How many Samoans can you fit into a Labor & Delivery room? We managed to squeeze 27 in there!
