Ok, this isn't technically "baby-related" but it did start here.
We were married August 6th, 2005 in Boulder Colorado.

Trying pictures
My beautiful wife Tiffany (guys, find a smart, attractive woman to marry you, it will be one of the best decisions you ever make!). Even better if she has your children. Anyway, this is Declan at about 3 days old in the hospital. He was in the NICU for 6 days after some meconium aspiration problems at birth. 110% fine now, but a little scary initially for brand new parents. Meanwhile we're still waiting to see if Deckie gets his mom's blue eyes or not. They are blue now, but show signs of brown. Babies eyes may not settle on a color for up to 1 year. I did not know any of this until becoming a dad.1 Month Pictures
When Declan was one month old (8/25/07). we had a friend come by to take some pictures. She's been a dedicated amateur photographer for years, but recently entered a program at the Center for Digital Imaging Arts in Boston (www.cdiabu.com, associated with Boston University). She spent about 3 hours with him (and us) on a Saturday morning. Some AMAZING shots. Shows you want good equipment, good set-up and, most importantly, a good eye can produce.
Anyway, her website is http://www.christinamcpherson.com/ . There might be a few shots of Declan up there at some point. I'm still trying to figure out how to post pics into here. First try gave some weird error code (bX-oaxi0t).

Declan at 6 weeks
Our little guy is now 6 weeks old. He has been smiling for about a week now, but we haven't been able to capture it on film. Quite evasive. Latest "progress" has been all the little noises; cooing, gurgling and grunting. Tiff caught some on video. Check out all the videos at www.youtube.com/TiffPom.
Last night I had Frisbee at 8pm. When I got home about 10:30pm, I took over from Tiff and she went to bed. I changed and fed him, heating up the bottle. Took more effort than you'd think. About halfway through the bottle, Declan stopped and smiled, as if to say "Look at all this work you did just for me!" About midnight he started getting sleepy, so I took him into the bedroom (he now sleeps in bassinet right next to our bed) and held him. His favorite sleeping position is face down against our chests, he snuggles right in. After about 20 minutes in bed with him, he had drifted off. Being careful not to fall asleep with him on me, I then put him to bed about 12:30am.
