Baby Boy is here....

We have him - just got to name him.
Not sure how well Kisa likes him yet - but he ignores her and explores. He layed in my lap the entire way home - over 4 hours.

2 names that I was given at the knit shop that dont have a blog yet are -
Bentley by Dawn and Sebastian by Diane.

Check in on Friday to see what he will be named and who will win!!

More Pics to come!
