Tia’s due date was Friday, May 22nd and the baby was measuring over 9 lbs in the womb.  Today, Tuesday, May 26th the doctor induced labor at 9am and Mason was born at 1:42pm.

He is 9 lbs 3 oz, 22″ inches long and is the spitting image of his older sister Kalani — black hair, olive skin.

Kalani is especially excited and won’t stop repeating how cute her new brother is.  I can’t argue.

Both Tia and Mason are happy and healthy and should be returning home in 2 days.

We have started posting his photos in the album titled Mason 2009.
