he's adorable!! karen you look great! good job mom! and dion, i've never seen his grin that BIG! =) congrats!
I think Dion provides a better sense of scale for me. :)
Great pictures, you all look so... dagnabbit, I'm just gonna end up repeating everybody else's comments.
Mommy and Daddy are aglow, and Adam definitely looks very happy with the job he's done so far; he's found his way into a great family.
Congratulations to all of you!
DING! Gratz! Level 1 all over again! =)
Otto,
funny you should mention that. Last night Dion commented that Adam seemed to be levelling up.
His repetoire of facial expressions has expanded and he definitely seems bigger already. It makes me just a little sad that he can't stay just the way he is forever. Which reminds me. The other day, Adam was being especially sweet while nursing so I asked Dion to take a picture, he won't like like this forever, y'know. To which Dion replied: "That's why you have more."
Oh my gosh, so beautiful!! Can't wait to get more news. Congratulations!! (p.s. the labour log was quite interesting. my mother also asked for pain relief and couldn't get it in time...)
Congratulations. Nice to hear you're all doing fine. With any luck, Dion, hopefully you have a lead on your hands. Have you tried harmonizing with him yet?
