The Meyer Monkeys: He's Here!

Thursday, March 5

He's Here!

He came a week early on Monday, March 2 (on my mom's birthday =).

We named him Matai Brett Meyer.

I don't have a way to put pictures up yet but I'll find a way.

He weighed 7lb 5oz and 20in.

Labor was quick and suprisingly easy compared to Scotty's birth.

From the way I see it he looks like Scotty did except more hair and has darker skin like his mommy.

Matai is healthy and active and we love him sooooo much!
