Meet Baby Atticus

Raina enjoys counting up her relatives: one mommy, one daddy, four grandparents, four aunties, two uncles, and FIVE cousins. The cousins win, hands down, and baby Atticus put them over the top. Raina and the rest of the Whomptons met baby Atticus over the winter holidays. We had to prep Raina somewhat to be disappointed: the baby wasn't going to play with her like her other cousins do, and she wouldn't get to hold him because he's so fragile. We also tried to warn her about how vocal he'd be, but neither Whompton adult anticipated just how vocal he'd be! (Raina woke up because of Atticus' crying and was confused a few times about what could be making those sounds!) Regardless, we delighted in the newest family addition, and, more importantly, in how absolutely happy Emily and Jerry were about being parents to Atticus.

Unfortunately, we never set down and did a large group picture (or, at least, we don't have a copy of one) so here are shots of Atticus plus one parent.
