Meet the newest, smallest, and sleepiest member of the extended DU family. Yes, we had another baby!

[Skinner]

His name is Jack. He was born on Wednesday, July 16. 9 pounds, 8 ounces. 21 inches long. 10 fingers and 10 toes.

Mom and baby are both doing well. His older brother Lucas (now 18 months old) has been great. He's fascinated by his little brother. He loves looking at him and patting his head and saying the words for the different parts of his body.

As you might expect, my wife and I are both pretty busy and pretty tired. I haven't really had much chance to log on to DU since Jack was born. But things are finally starting to settle down a bit so I should be around a little more now. First I have a big backlog of email and private messages to go through. (I hope to get through all of it by sometime tomorrow.)

Thank you in advance for your well-wishes.

David/Skinner

40. Jesus, what a Beautiful baby! And I'm not the kind of guy that says that

If it ain't True.. Many times it's better to just grin and shake their hands than Lie.. So many kids are born with heads that look like they came out of a tube of toothpaste, wonky, and funny colors, splotches, etc..

The kid's gorgeous Skinner, you guys do good work!

Many Congrats! A good idea too, better to have a couple of babies close together as they'll keep each other Busy and out of your hair :)

Truth..

Glad to hear it all went well - I know what it's like for the Dad, my wife has pictures of me actually cross-eyed from being so out of it right after :)

The Joy of Raising a Baby

We’re glad he joined your family,
Yet some things make us wonder;
How can a little package like him
Have a voice that’s loud as thunder?

He is so small and oh so cute,
But he is never very shy,
For whenever he wants something,
He just opens his mouth and cry.

First he moves on hands and knees,
Then he's up on his feet.
You’re chasing him all around the house;
You’re tired; you need a retreat!

Some food is on the table;
Some food is on the floor;
Seems the only place food didn’t go,
Is in the baby you adore.

Diapers here and diapers there,
Stinky... smelly... Whew!
Diapers would have done you in,
If you didn’t love him as you do.

We’re glad he joined your family,
he's a unique and wonderful treasure.
So, despite the work of raising him,
Being his parents is a total pleasure!

[Barrymores Ghost]

329. There's just no easy way to tell some parents that their kid is an ugly baby....

...fortunately, you and your missus spared us the burden of having to come up with a lie.

Wow...what a handsome strapper! Congratulations!!
