Danny's first bath

Me no like this whole "bath" thing.

Big sister as "bathy consultant"

I don't care how cute this ducky towel is, I'm sticking with "Waaaaaaaaaah!"

That's better Mom.

more Danny pictures

Here are a couple more photos. Despite my super-biased point of view, I have to say it nonetheless: He's so cute.

A great day today. We enjoyed the beautiful weather in the yard with our frineds Dan and Jen and little Hannah (Katie's sharing skills are still a working in progress...) Then our neighbors Davis, Katrina and their little boy Ansen came over. Katie's pool got a lot of good use...

All that playing outside has made me tired. I think I'll just fall asleep with my head on the arm of the couch while watching TV...

Danny comes home!

Mommy's recovering like crazy over here. So fast that she left the hospital Sunday afternoon (a day early). It's great having everyone home.



Mommy and Danny before leaving the hospital.



Danny comes home. It doesn't get any better than this...

brother and sister

It's a boy!

Holy cow! It's a boy! Healthy and cute and A-OK. And Mommy did (and is doing) great as well. Daddy's pacing and hand wringing has subsided nicely. We just couldn't be happier.

The stat sheet:

Name: Daniel Lawrence Gazda
weight: 6 lbs 13 oz
birthday: 6/13/08 (in room 3113 no less - so much for that "13 is an unlucky #" garbage) 8:53 am

Katie has been very excited for the baby and just couldn't wait to see him today. She really seemed to take to him (after a weird tantrum kinda thing at first).



Before.



The weigh in. Lots of crying, very pink (that's a good thing), covered in gook











Check out the look on Katie's face (Nanny's look is not as cute...)
