Michael Alexander

Our son was born on Sunday, January 18 at 11:33 pm. He weighed 5 lb. and 15 oz. and measured 20.25 in. long. He was born at week 37 plus 1 day. He was sweet enough to wait to be a term baby but not too long so that mommy wouldn't have to be on bed rest for much longer.

Here are lots of pictures.

"Hello world!" - 2 hours and 6 minutes of life.


Throwing gang signs in the nursery.


Getting checked out by Noodles. Check out the calf muscles on my son - future soccer superstar!


Baby's first dress. Actually, it's a Christening gown that was first worn by the husband's grandfather.


Tummy time!


Being a mom is quite amazing. I need to keep this entry short but I hope to continue adding pictures and blogging about parenthood in the coming weeks and months.
