Merry Christmas!

Baby Blessing

I gave Andrew his baby blessing in Church last Sunday. As a group of us men held him in a circle I spoke inspired words that came to my heart. As Katya had feared, Andrew started crying in the middle of the blessing, so it was short but sweet.

More pictures and videos

Andrew will be 4 weeks old this Saturday. We've uploaded some more pictures to our Picasa Gallery and more videos to YouTube. Andrew is holding his head up really well and is very capable of telling us when he wants something, like to suck on daddy's pinky or to be wrapped up in a little cacoon.

Our son is a YouTube star!

You can watch videos of Andrew during his first minutes after birth and during his first day on YouTube. View all of our YouTube videos here.

Our son was born!

Our son, Andrew, was born yesterday morning, on Saturday, May 26 at 4:06 AM. He weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces and is 20 inches long. He has quite a head of brown hair. Mom and baby will come home from the hospital tomorrow morning. You can see photos in our gallery here.

Baby Shower!

Katya's baby shower was on Monday night. The event was put together by Ashley and my sister Adrienne. We played fun games like guessing the flavors of 9 baby foods (yuck!) and guessed the different kinds of candy bars that were melted and put in diapers. You can see our pictures from the party here.

Our son will arrive soon!

Just four weeks until our son will make his appearance into the world. Katya and I have attended every class possible that the hospital offers for expecting parents.
