Ethan Paul - Born 3/18/04 @ 5:37p - Weight 6lb. 12oz. - Length 20"


The obligatory disheveled mama/baby pic:

7. "Be sure to raise him Democrat"
He looks like a smart kid and has good parents--that'll take care of itself!

Congratulations again, ChoralScholar!

8. That's awesome!
My friend Becca is on the verge of giving birth. Since her husband is in the military in Iraq, I've offered to help Becca out with taking care of the little one.

Truth be told, I didn't make the offer completely out of altruism. One of the biggest pleasures in my life is playing with infants and toddlers! If only I could always feel as serene as I do when I rock a baby to sleep....

13. hey.. even if you had ulterior motives,
I'm sure she will appreciate the help. I know we have appreciated the meals and visits and offers to rock the baby or whatever.

Good luck to your friend as well.

12. Yes he is our first.
Quite a suprise, after we had resigned ourselves to not being able to have our own.

He will be raised with good Democratic values and be nurtured in an intelligent, loving home.

Thanks for all your well wishes. He is having his bedtime snack, and Daddy is going to join him.

:)

19. What a cutie pie
All sleeping children are angelic, and he looks quite the little angel. Savor the moment, they are little for so little time.

21. He has been the best baby
ever since he was born. He came out, fussed a little, peed on the nurses, and then was passed around to 10 of my family members. He never made a sound.

He has had one or two major, turn purple and scream, meltdowns, and they have both been gas related. Once we got him to burp, he was back to his old self.

I am just tickled to death with my son. I never knew I could love someone this much.

Thanks for all your encouragement.

26. Congratulations to you and your family!
He is utterly beautiful. I love babies. When they are loved and cared for, they grow to become wonderful sources of hope and inspriation for all of humanity. It's not always easy to it do right, but a noble task for those of us who choose to undertake it. :)

To you: :toast:

27. Much love to you all...
There's nothing like a child to put it all in perspective. I took yesterday off from the "need-to's and have-to's of life" to see my greatgrandaughter who is 19 months old. When I had to leave, she stretched her little arm out...I moved closer, and she patted me on the back and kissed me on the cheek. One of the things that bothers me is that I won't live long enough for her to remember me - and know that I loved her...and yesterday, I had the feeling that maybe she was assuring me she would. I can't tell you how much the feeling meant. This is what you have to look forward to - this wonderful world of love and promise. Give Ethan an extra tickle for me, will you?

31. He's a little heartbreaker! Congrats
And the best advice I can give is to try to nap everytime he naps. It really does help.
