Cyrus Cruze Shafer

Cyrus Cruze Shafer
October 6, 2009 at 7:42 a.m.
9 pounds even, 20 inches long

Freshly Born

Handsome #1 and His Handsome Offspring


Calvin Learns the Art of Babysitting. We get them started early.
Noah's bruised arm. Proof that my epidural didn't work, and that I might have looked into some pain management classes.

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. We are happy, tired, and being taken care of by Memaw Kay.

Smooches,

The Shafers

Well that in one Perfect boy. We are very glad he is here.

Noah sorry about that arm but I'm guessing you can manage.

Sarahie said...

Yay! Congratulations. He's adorable. Sorry the epidural didn't work, that sucks! But, really what more pain management do you need than a good strong arm?

Stephanie B said...

He is so adorable. I love chubby cheeked babies. Well done, Katie. Also, I want to hear more about the epidural incident.

Griffeth Family said...

I see we have had a name change!! Ha! Ha! I Guess it's a good thing I wouldn't tell people when they asked me what you named your baby. He is adorable!

cally said...

Hooray!

I love you Katie. I can't believe no epidural. YUUUUUUCK!

That picture of Calvin with Cyrus is so cute.

The Hill Family said...

Catlin said...

Congrats to you guys! He is beautiful!

Katina Angola said...

Congrats!! People who make beautiful babies should make them often. Keep up the great work!

Mamabelle said...

Congratulations! <--I like to write it out b/c I'm so proud that I know how to spell it. Your blog cracks me up; I love your humor.
Note: Even if you plan on having epidurals, I highly recommend a lamaze class--very educational and helps birth be more relaxed.

Laura said...

three boys are fun. you will love it. there's nothing like another superhero in the home!

Beth said...

Handsome baby, Handsome family. The passing days have only made him cuter!

Congratulations!!!

Parke Family said...

Congrats! Cute baby. Cute name. Hope everything is going well. Did you walk the city streets like you did with Wyatt? Sorry about the epidural, I don't think I would survive without it. I guess the bruise says it all though.

Erin said...

Congratulations Katie and Noah! I can't believe the life-sized cheeks on that one! I want to reach through my computer screen and pinch the heck out of them! He's adorable. I am so happy for you!

Unknown said...

WOW. I didn't even think we were that close already. CONGRATS.

i love love the name. It's classic yet cool, just like the other boys.

I was gonna say that he must take after the Shafers, but I've seen some other Cruze babies with those exact same cheeks!
