Tai Michael Staples

Tai was born on September 23rd @ 9:08 p.m. in Oman. We are so happy with Tai in our lives and things have been going really well for us. So far Tai seems to be a happy mellow baby. The breast feeding is going very well, which I'm very happy about since it was so painful last time. 
 
Look how happy E is holding his second son. I have the best partner in the world! My words cannot express how valuable E's love and support have been. 

Tai couldn't have had a better welcome from C. He continues to be such a wonderful big brother. He is gentle and so sweet to Tai. C often asks us what Tai is saying. We usually make something up & the 2 of them then start a conversation. 

The hospital staff never referred to Tai by name.  Instead they called him, "Baby of Jill" as it says on his ankle band.


These are our very good friends Helen & Tom.  They immediately welcomed us with open arms into their lives. We are grateful for their friendship. Tom & Helen very kindly offered to watch C while we were at the hospital. It was a HUGE relief for us knowing that C was in such loving hands. C was thrilled about sleeping at Tom & Helen's house. He loves them as much as we do.
