Back By Popular Demand

Topher is doing great. We made it through the first night at home relatively unscathed.

Disagree if you must, but Topher is the cutest kid on earth in my book.  He also sneezed six times in one shot, another record in my book.

Topher coming home. Megan seems more pleased about it than Topher does.

This was the first time that Topher slept for any appreciable amount of time in his bassinet since we got home.  It was taken this afternoon.

Everyone  who did any tests or examinations on Topher told us "He's perfectly healthy, but his toes are kinda weird." His big toe is quite a distance from the rest of his toes.  There is some debate as to whether it is more like a monkey's foot, or a velociraptor's. Apparently we have Megan's dad to thank for this. 

As requested, a picture of me with Topher.

This is just before I finally showered again after two and a half days. No baby in this photo, just a lot of manginess.

Last but not least, here is a baby head I carved out of an apple the night before we went to the hospital.  Interestingly, I think it looks more like Topher than any of the makemebabies.com babies we tried out.

Well of course I think Will is the cutest kid ever, but Topher is second. I can't get over how happy Megan looks, Scott looks more how I felt when I came home. I hope someone is getting some sleep at your place.

Wow guys, he is a beautiful baby. And even more beautiful that I don't have to get up with him in the middle of the night. Just know that because of the interruptions to your sleep patterns, you now have the right to dress him up in all sorts of costumes, weird outfits, etc. and to make him eat all sorts of foods such as broccoli, spinach, brussel sprouts. That's the payback that parents get. Use it wisely.

He's a good lookin' baby! Congratulations you two! I'm happy for you, and a tad bit jealous that I have to wait until February to see our little baby girl :(! But I can't wait to see more pictures!
