Growing

Rory went to the doctor on Monday. He is now 6 lbs 10 oz and 20.25 inches. We are very happy with his growth.
Rory had lots of visitors since our last post. He enjoyed making so many new friends.
Rory is looking forward to his first Thanksgiving. In addition to the local Atlanta clan, the family from Iowa and Tennessee are coming in to celebrate with us.

One Month!

Rory celebrated his 1 month birthday yesterday with the Lichtman family. He slept through most of the party, but woke up in time for dessert- smart kid!
Last weekend Rory met all of his (first) cousins. He went to Darren's Halloween party. Then, Zach and Ian arrived from Tennessee on Saturday. All of Rory's cousins loved him and Rory can't wait to get bigger to play with them all.
Enjoy these pictures from the past couple of weeks!

Check-up

Rory went back to the doctor yesterday for a check-up. He had a great report and now weighs 5 pounds, 6 ounces, and his jaundice is almost completely gone. We will post new pictures soon.

Homecoming

After 12 days in the NICU, Rory was discharged from Crawford Long. He was very excited about his big outing and dressed up for the occasion. Unfortunately his outfit was a bit big on him, but he looked absolutely adorable. Here a few photos of him as he embarked on his big journey.

I'm 3! (days, that is)

Rory is getting stronger every day. He's still in the NICU, but has lost some of the tubes and wires, so he was ready to pose. Enjoy!

We are proud to introduce…

Rory James Lichtman was born at 1:51 pm on Wednesday, October 8th. He was 4 lbs 8 oz and 17 in long. He is in the NICU, so we haven’t had an opportunity to get any good pictures yet, but will put some out once we have some. We think he is a beautiful baby, but we are also completely biased!

We are sad to announce…
