Zombie Dance

It's been a long three weeks since Gavin was born
I feel like I've been sleep walking the entire time
Gavin is adjusting well to his new world
He's had the usual constipation, gas, and rashes
that are common to babies
Parents always wonder if someday the child will appreciate
the work that goes into raising a child
The answer is probably not until they have a child of their own
Time also makes us forget child raising hardships
In my opinion the first 6 months is the hardest
Mostly because of the sleep factor
My sleep is like a deeply guarded treasure
When somebody steals it
The dragon awakes

Gavin - First Day of Flight

Gavin - Little Falcon

A new little white falcon has taken flight
Gavin born January 4th at 3:48 p.m.
9 lbs big
A soft gentle cry was heard as Gavin entered the world
Eyes opened quickly
Skin a glowing healthy pink
Confused as to why nurses where sticking poking and prodding
Cheeks chubby
Face very similar to his older siblings at time of birth
Fingers long and slim unlike his brothers
Babies are like gifts
that take years to open
As we peel back the layers of wrapper we catch small glimpses
of what lies beneath the paper
Our little falcon is still tightly wrapped
but we feel there is a wonderful gift inside
Welcome home Gavin
