Santiago Xavier was born July 13, 2012 at 1:05 AM. His weight and length were exactly the same as his brother's at 6.5lbs (2950g) and 19in (49cm), respectively.

We are recovering well and beginning to adjust to having a second child (though I'm sure it will really hit us in two weeks when Santiago finds his voice). Rafael interacts well with his little brother for the most part, and views him as an entertaining pet to be kissed and pet. He doesn't quite grasp the concept of Santiago not being able to play with toys yet, but I'm sure it will come eventually.

Here are some photos. Scroll way down the blog to see how Santiago looks like Rafael did when he was first born.
