Baby Asarian Arrives!

Here is my first photo! I was only about 10 minutes old. The nurse invited my dad into the nursery to hold me.
Look at the proud look on his face--he doesn't even realize that he's still wearing my mom's tiara that was handed to him before we went into the operating room!!

I am 20" tall and weigh 6 lbs 13 oz.




Then, after the docs sewed my mom back together, I got to finally discover how nice it was to have her hold me!

Even after 18 hrs of labor and plenty of determination and exertion helping me escape from her belly, she still looks beautiful!







I don't hold my head very still...

...so some of my photos are blurry. My neck is surprisingly strong for being such a skinny little guy! I can snap it all around and look in all directions....
















I'm really good at arching my back too--which should really help when I'm learning to serve a tennis ball! Look--I can even work my arms and shoulders in perfect unison...
















I have just about as much hair as my dad! A little bald in the front, but more on the side and in the back.














It looks like I'm really unhappy, but actually I'm just in mid-yawn.

Note the handsome plastic clip on my belly-button.

That's really comfortable when they wrap me up like a burrito!












I don't sleep ALL the time...just most of the time. When I'm awake, I'm just like mom and dad: calm, quiet, and suspicious of everything in my surroundings!
















I really liked meeting my Grandpa for the first time!
