new pictures!

bath time is one of rōnin's favorite times. he doesn't seem to really understand where the warm water is coming from but he doesn't put up a fight. it's also the time of day when you can count on him being awake and getting a picture with his eyes open...

the daily pic

alrighty. so here it is. i am going to TRY (and i emphasize the word try) to post a picture daily, or close to it, of Rōnin so that you all can follow his growth. it has been exciting and very hard. no one could really prepare us for what parenthood is like, but we are having fun.

Rōnin has been having a few firsts. he had his first real bath (of which we continue to forget to take pictures every night) and he had his first smile. he never smiles when we have the camera but instead makes these stupid faces so we can't capture a shot of how cute he really is (i think he learned how to ruin a picture from his pop-pop alessi). so i have pictures to post but the only way you will really be able to see what rōnin truly looks like is if you come for a visit (hint hint).

please take note of the mohawk. it has taken 3 nights of baths for us to finally get it to work. oh and kachi loves the crib...

It's a... BOY! (who guessed right?)

Rōnin James Pashley is here! we have been enjoying the exciting and scary world of parenthood. we are actually responsible for keeping this little precious life alive. that is quite a responsibility! it has been hard, and at times very frustrating, but we are loving the new addition to our family. he is a joy and is definitely ruling the roost! all things revolve around Rōnin and he determines when and how we do things. he is so little and has so much control!

well here are his stats. Rōnin was born february 27 at 7:03 pm. he was a light 5 pounds and 8 ounces, 18 1/2 inches long.

here are some pictures of the little man (and he looks like a man). enjoy!
