It has been a busier than normal holiday season around the Schneider household this year and for good reason. We welcomed Nathan Dean into our lives last week and could not be happier that our family has grown by one. Big brother Cole has been awesome and really seems to love his little brother already. Nate’s stats: 8lbs 4oz and 21.5″ long. Both of our boys were long babies, but Nate has the definitive edge in birth weight… we’ll see if that holds up as he gets older. It took Cole almost 2 years to make it to the 50th percentile in weight.

Here are some photos of our time at the hospital as well as some photos of us at home. Enjoy!

Hello intrepid website visitor. We’d like to introduce you to our son Cole… all 6lbs 12oz and 21.5 inches of him. We’re quite smitten

Continuing the list of “nope, not my baby’s name”…

In honor of the Peanut’s impending arrival (we’re talking days here folks) I thought it would be funny to post a few of the “ain’t-no-way-we’re-naming-our-kid-that” names we found on babynames.com. This, of course, will happen over a succession of posts so for now you get one . Check back tomorrow for another.

Okay, two. Can you picture someone actually naming their kid Peanut?

Anyone who’s seen the movie Superbad will recognize the name McLovin. We weren’t, however, expecting to find it as a suggested boy’s name on babynames.com.

What do you think? McLovin Schneider?
