May/June Pics

We're catching up on our postings. He's getting big. He's at around 19 pounds. The 2 bottom teeth are in and he bites pretty hard. He's not exactly crawling yet but he's pulling himself around and rolling to where ever he wants to go. We're having to keep a closer eye on him now that he's more mobile. Here are some recent photos.


Chillin' on the couch playing some video games with Dad


Happy Mother's Day!

Dad trying to get me to smile for the camera.

Can you say "no" to these big blue eyes?

Random Photos

We haven't posted in a while. Here's a few photos from the past 2 months. 2 real good pictures of Merrick and Becca that I like.

His Valentines's Day gift from his Mom. His name is Di-vine.


This is from a family weekend at Bobo and Mimi's. He's with cousins Noah (center), Jaden (right), and Grady (left).


Great smile!


This is one of his favorite ways to fall asleep and make Dad's hand go numb.


Hangin' out with Dottie.


Dottie likes tummy time too!


We've found that he's ticklish under his arms. And changing shirts seems to really make him laugh out loud. Warning....extremely cute!!

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.
