Baby Dean

Sometimes there is just nothing that can improve your outlook as much as spending time with a new life.  I got to do that this afternoon, and it definitely brightened my day.

My friends Lynn and Greg have just welcomed their first child.  Baby Dean made his debut on Friday, 4/4, at 9:41am.  He was 37 weeks, 4 days, weighed 8lbs, 4oz, and was 21 inches long.  He spent two days under special care with very mild respiratory issues, but all is well now and they are home.  Lynn is recovering both from the C-section and the intense stress of those first few days, and Dean is thriving and putting on weight as fast as he can chug his bottles.

Today I popped over for a visit, camera bag in tow, and we had the first of what will probably be quite a few photo sessions.  Is it just me, or are baby feet about the cutest things ever?  Kinda makes the fingers itch to knit a baby sock or pair of booties, doesn't it?
