Ethan Wigmore

Uncle Matt and Auntie Laura had their baby! Ethan James Wigmore arrived on Aug 18 and weighed 8 lbs, 15 oz.

Matt called us once he arrived, and we put the phone on speaker so the girls could hear Matt tell us. They heard crying in the background and immediately started running around dancing/yelling, "Our cousin is here! Our cousin is here!! Yay!!"

That night when I was tucking Willa into bed she said, "I can't wait to hug my cousin and hold him." I told her that yes, she could do that someday. She immediately got out of bed and said, "Let's go!" and truly thought that she was going to go give him a hug right then.

The girls have been full of questions ever since he was born. Here are some of the questions they've asked me--
-"How come Ethan was in Auntie Laura's tummy and not Uncle Matt's?"
-"How did Ethan get in there? How did he get out?"
-"Will Ethan always be my cousin, even after I die?"
-"Can I hold him? Really??!!"
-"Is Ethan as tiny as a mouse?"

For a few days after he was born Willa was going up to complete strangers and saying, "Auntie Laura had a baby! I have a new cousin!! And I get to hold him!!"

Congrats Matt and Laura! We are working on coming to see you soon--can't wait to get all the little cousins together and kiss that baby!
