Smiles

It was 10:30 p.m. and all Mommy wanted was for me to go to sleep, but I was wide awake & happy about it.

Play time

I haven't figured out how to play with the toys yet, but they're pretty to look at.

I'm 1 month & 3 days old and I weigh 10 lbs, 4 oz.

What will Blake look like?

Less than 3 weeks till my due date. What color will my hair be? And what about my eyes? Will I look like Daddy or Mommy? Or will I have my own unique look?

At 2 years old, Daddy had blonde hair. His hair is now brown and he has hazel eyes.

At the same age, Mommy had white-blonde hair. She still has blonde hair, although not as light, and has blue eyes.

Third Ultrasound, Dec. 15, 2006

The hospital records of the 1st two ultrasounds have been "misplaced."

So, they asked Mommy to have another one. Of course, she didn't mind at all - more pictures! This ultrasound picture was taken at 35 weeks so it's tight quarters in there.

7 months

And his name will be...

Nathaniel Blake Aaron. We've decided to call him Blake. Shawn likes the fact that his initials will be NBA.

Second Ultrasound, Sept. 26, 2006

Baby's profile. Is he sucking his thumb already?

He's making a fist. Maybe Mommy should reconsider the name "Rocky". Ok, she's considering... absolutely not.

Baby's profile with a foot sticking up. Not sure how he has his foot at that angle. :)

Baby Names

We're still working on a name for baby. "Rocky Picard" is Daddy's idea of the perfect name for our little boy: a combination of Rocky Balboa & Capt. Picard of the Enterprise. Needless to say, Mommy said NO.
