baby’s first blog
Blake’s all dressed up and ready to settle in for the evening. Before he drifts off to eight hours of peaceful, uninterrupted slumber, Mom and Dad step in to capture his thoughts on film.
Very happy, very cute… very close to the edge of the bed! We’ll have to work on that.
As we leave the hospital, Blake makes that mewling sound that I’ve come to recognize as his request for the car keys. Instead I place him in the clutches of his hated nemesis, Mr. Car Seat, who quickly subdues him with a sleeper hold. Luckily, Mom is there to comfort our fallen hero.
Will her bold plan to dominate young Blake through his feeding schedule succeed? Or will he wind up calling the shots? Stay tuned!
In this scene, Blake and I share some bonding time about 90 minutes after his birth. We’ve just returned from the operating room. Mom’s nearby, but she’s not feeling so great. Don’t worry - she’ll be a major character in the sequels.
Special thanks to Aunt Laura for filming my late night, new father ramblings. She’s also put up some pictures from Blake’s first few days, including a few gorgeous black and white images.
