Hi! I’m Charles, and today is my birthday! Right now I weigh 10 pounds, 5 ounces, and I’m 23 and a half inches long. The nurses at the hospital have taken to calling me “Moose,” because of my great mass.
I’m kinda new to this whole “being outside of mommy’s tummy” thing, so bear with me while I figure out the internet. Apparently there are boobs online? That’s awesome, because I’m kinda thirsty. Anyway, here are some pictures of me! Daddy says they are all clickable if you want to view the original full-size picture.
Here I am at 17 minutes old:
Putting on my first new duds:
Daddy’s poking me in the head, I think.
I’m meeting Mommy for the first time!
Next is a picture Daddy took of me from WAY too close so the flash woke me up. It’s okay, though; I screamed real loud and Daddy felt bad.
Meeting Grandma for the first time.
And Grandpa too!
And here’s Oma:
Me with Oma and Grandma:
And the ever-popular Grumps!
I am the scion of a long line of single sons, apparently. This is a lot of pressure.
Here’s me and Daddy, and Grandma making sure Mommy feels okay.
Here I am with Daddy! He’s kinda scary, but his voice is oddly familiar.
Here I am with Daddy, Mommy, and Grandma.
And finally, my new family!
i think i am in love. he’s beautiful!
I am so happy for you! He is beautiful
Was he born with a cell phone in his mouth? Is that what Matt’s doing?
asdlf;lkj!!!1! I can’t tell you how excited I am about Charles! Congratulations!
Congratulations! That certainly is a mammoth baby. I still want to know the head circumference, as does everyone else, I’d imagine.
Oh no! My nieces are determined to make me old, but I shall persevere. Congrats! He is beautiful, of course.
Congrats guys!!! Great pictures (especially the 4th one down with the big ‘ol smile on his face and the one of Sarah’s mom holding him while holding her hand)…and it is a big baby, relative to normal humans…the picture of Sarah’s dad holding him makes him look like a peanut.
BTW – Kris and I argued for 5 minutes over what kind of nut to use as the punchline there. I said walnut (rounder)…she said almond. In the end, I’m disappointed in our effort. But you guys…you guys did awesome. Congrats again.

The pictures are fantastic! I can’t wait to see the (not so) li’l guy in person. Take care, you guys, and once again, congratulations!
WAHOO! Welcome, Charles Matthew! Way to go, Sarah (you, too, Matthew, although you pretty much did all you had to at the beginning . . . hahaha)!! Can’t wait to get my hands on that large, economy-sized grandnephew! He’s so handsome!!
Love to all!!
Congratulation! and Great Job!
YOU GOT A BIG ONE!!
Cut as a button, ok a big button.
All our love.
Congrats guys – so happy for you – He looks adorable!! You both look wonderful and thrilled too – exhausted I’m sure, but how exciting!!!
Thy Hearndom come, thy will be done….
Scion of Leviathan. almost rhymes.
Congrats, you two. He looks perfect.
Congrats Hearn and Mama Hearn! You guys are too cool, and so is Charles M.
You know what they say about big babies…
…I don’t actually have a punchline for that, I got ahead of myself, I’ll try to post a good one later.
Congrats You Guys!!!!!! He’s so cute, and Sarah I’m so proud of you and love you all bunches. Can’t wait to meet Charlie in person. Will call shortly when things have calmed down 🙂
Miss you all much. XO.
Congratulations you guys! He is handsomely beautiful!
