We are so happy to announce that our little man, Ryo Melvin Aoki, arrived safe and sound on November 3rd at 3:46 am. He weighed 6lb 8oz and was 19.5 inches. We think he has more "Hardin" in him than "Aoki". Mia was much darker as an infant and had more of Tyson's features. Ryo is more of a whitie- sorry son! So far, he has been a very good boy- He is calm for the most part and is happy eating and sleeping. Mia is thrilled that he is here and cannot get enough of him. She keeps saying "Mom, isn't he adorable?" She wants to be right next to him (and in his face) at all times.
I have to admit, I am a little... ok, really late getting pictures posted. The last month at my house has been anything but restful. If having a new baby isn't enough, we packed and moved an entire house last week. Our little home on Imperial St is no longer ours, and we are currently under contract on a new home. If all goes well, we will be in a new house shortly after Christmas. We have not done all of this alone, however. Both my family and Tyson's family have been a HUGE help through this whole crazy process. I don't know what we would do without such great family.
These are some of my favorite pictures from the hospital
