Almost 12 weeks old

They grow up fast. Here's some pictures from the past couple of weeks.

Here's his first bottle in prep for Mom going back to work.


I tried to take a picture of him and Becca. Everytime I would get him to smile, he'd stop when I took the picture. This one is blurry but at least he's smiling.


This is just a good shot.

Tummy time!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone! No real new news on the Merrick front. He's still in the eating, pooping, and sleeping stage. He's got a new trick that he's getting really good at: smiling. New pics below!

Thanksgiving 2008

Merrick's first Thanksgiving was spent at home with mom, dad, Kitty, and T-Bone. All enjoyed a traditional feast, complete with a fried turkey prepared by Tim!

He's here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a long 48 hours but here's finally here. Becca started labor at 1:30am Wednesday morning. We ended Wednesday night at 9:55 with a beautiful baby boy via C-section.

Merrick Austin Ross
born 11/19/2008 9:55pm
6lb. 6.4 oz
19" long
Brown hair, still determining the eyes
Most concensus has him pegged as looking more like Becca. I think he has my ears. :)

Here's the first photo's:

First family photo
First bath
All clean and his hair spiked up.

Rare moment of rest.
