Fresh From the Womb

Welcome to our big, bright and exciting world Nathaniel!   Our charming little boy was born here in Manila on July 5th, 2009 @ 16:15 in the afternoon.  He entered the world screaming (as most babies do) but seemed quite happy to be free on the confines of his tiny bachelor apartment womb. 

The question people always tend to ask is, ‘who does he look like?’.  An odd question I think considering a freshly born baby looks exactly like that, a freshly born baby.  Nathaniel was wrinkled, pale white, and covered in an unappetising gloop.  His inhumanly huge testicles were a surreal neon blue colour (which thankfully turned a normal   red soon after birth).  He has lots of hair even though the gloop made him look like a Greaser from that movie Grease.  Speaking of movies, when you watch movies or television commercials and they show newborn babies THEY ARE LYING.  Newborns aren’t that pretty.  But you know, honestly, and objectively, Nathaniel from the first minute I saw him is, and always will be, the sweetest and most beautiful baby in the world.

Welcome to our lives my little prince.  I’m very excited to see what adventures our future holds together

I’m posting two pictures here:  straight after birth, and his first close up.

He has daddy's chin! Looks like Aimee's eyes. He looks like himself, a beautiful creation by the both of you. =)
