Oh my gosh I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY CUTE! Mommy and Daddy have both reportedly made this picture the desktop background on all their computers.

New photos! I have gotten large. I’m told I’m almost 12 pounds!

My daddy is scary fish:

This is my “aunt” Jeanmarie, one of Mommy’s oldest friends:

This is my buddy Jacob! He’s a big boy too.

Here’s me and Daddy again, with Daddy looking much less psycho.

I’m hanging out in my bouncy seat. I’m not entirely sure how to operate it yet, and I pooped in it the the other day, but it sure is comfy!

This is my carseat:

And this is where Mommy laid me down for a moment so she could switch the laundry over:

Sorry for the lack of new updates, but I’m just getting used to being home with Mommy and Daddy. Mommy is in charge of feeding, and Daddy is in charge of diapers. He has repeatedly said he enjoys changing diapers more than his actual job! Daddy leads a sad life, I think.

Anyway, in lieu of saying anything useful, because my thoughts revolve mostly around food and poop, here is my first podcast! It’s very short, but very meaningful. Enjoy!

More photos!!! Mommy is being rude in this picture:


Here’s my Aunt Lizzie! It was good to meet her.



Then, Oma and Grumps came back. Oma appears to be stuffing her face. This is thrilling.



A kiss from Daddy! YAY!


More pictures coming soon!!!

Hey everybody!!! It has been a WHIRLWIND first two days. Mommy and I are doing very well. She’s been able to walk around a good bit, although she still has no strength in her middle. I’ve been eating a lot, and Daddy says I’ve been sucking so hard I’ve bruised her boobs! Sorry, Mommy! Anyway, they did something gross to my PeePee this afternoon, but the nurse-lady gave me sugar water which made me feel good. Daddy stayed with me the whole time, which is surprising because apparently he doesn’t deal well with medical issues with the doodads. Oh well.

I’ve had lots of visitors! Check it out, here I am with Gam-Gam, who is my great grandma:



Later on, Grandma came back so she could take a turn:



Oma was here too:


This morning, Mommy took some pictures of me while I was sleeping. Daddy says they’re really good:



This is the card that they use to record my important info, such as the fact that I am very large:



Auntie Rachel came to visit!!! She doesn’t like getting her picture taken (she thinks that the photographer is trying to steal her soul), but she made an exception for me:



And one more picture of my new family! You may not be able to see me, but I’m over on the right, sucking on Mommy’s boob:

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!
