“Babies are such a nice way to start people.” ~Don Herrold
I took this photo a week ago when I went to see Amy for the first time since Ezra’s birth. I kept looking at her and looking at him and saying, “Dude, you had a BABY” and she said, “Dude, I KNOW”. I spent the rest of the evening being baffled. I’m posting this now because it’s a mediocre photo of a beautiful baby that really doesn’t capture just how lovely he is. I went back and forth between I want one! and My God these fuckers are boring. But they’re the snuggliest little creatures in the world. There’s not much more to say other than there’s really nothing in this world like a fresh person. They’re still young and malleable and god willing, with the proper tutelage, they won’t turn into assholes. But judging by Ezra’s parents, I can assure you that he will not.

That is an amazing photo, Heather. I love it.
SQUEE! BABIES!
If that photo is mediocre, I don’t ever, ever, ever want you to see one that I take.
I think it’s a gorgeous photo.
“My God these fuckers are boring.”
This, this is why I love you.
Here’s what’s now happening: I am getting pregnant for the express purpose of nine months later receiving a card from you saying, “My God these fuckers are boring, but best of luck to you.”
Just so we all know, I say “My God these fuckers are boring” with love. Lots and lots of love.
oh now he is just precious!
This is NOT a mediocre photo, babe. And I know mediocre.
If you really want a baby, you can have mine in 4 weeks.
Oh, I think that photo is beautiful. Did you smell his head?
That photo is so so great.
ACK HAND VEINS. It’s like, here baby, let me offer you some CLAW.
And newborns are boring, but they’re easier to bench press.
“These fuckers are boring” pretty much sums it up perfectly. I think the cuteness is pure compensation.
That photo is stunning, Heather.
I still can’t believe she has TWO KIDS. TWO!
