Two Weeks Old

I was recently chastised by my younger brother, among others, for not posting pictures recently. Never mind that I have a two week old baby and have started the most intense semester of my program. So regardless of the fact that I should be studying I have taken a moment to appease the masses.
The happy couple with their new bundle of joy. We are smiling because he is asleep.
During one of his frequent daytime naps. Now if we could just get him to sleep during the night, all would be well.
He has some of the scrawniest little legs.
He has already started to make me pull my hair out. Actually, I cut it. It gets a little hot under my helmet during the summer. Cassie loves (ha ha) my new do.
Cute as he is, he makes it hard to get a good picture of him because he always has to have his hands up by his face. This is about as good a picture as we can get of him recently, unless he is asleep, and even then he has his hands on his face.

You can all see more pictures of his first two weeks at the address listed below. Including his first bath and other events that have transpired.

New Baby

As many of you may know, and some may not, Cassie and I had our baby on Friday May 16 at 6:15AM. He is a beautiful little boy. He was 7lbs and 19 in long. His first name is Drostan but we haven't decided on his middle name.
Thus far he is a pretty quiet kid, he only wails when being picked on (wieghing, bathing, blood sugars, etc). He is kind of a cute bugger.
Mom and baby are doing fine. She looks pretty good for just having a baby doesn't she? Unfortunately, after about 16 hours of labor Cassie had not progressed enough and the baby's heart rate was slowing down with each contraction, the doctor tried to manually dilate her cervix but it didn't work so she had to have a C-section. Aside from the wicked conehead most people seem to think he looks like his dad. Oddly enough everyone also thinks he's cute, go figure.
He is just a darn cute kid. Man I do good work. Cassie too.
