Not so long ago (5 days to be exact) WB and I were one and the same, peacefully (mostly) inhabiting the same body. He had no choice but to share my life, my plans, my days & nights, my music, and my food. (OK, so actually that last one hasn't actually changed so much.) Together, we looked like this.
Now, he is his very own person. A whole wee person with a life and destiny, while certainly intertwined with ours, now all his own. Today he rules our little roost, someday he may even rule the world - but not today.........
.......today, we're napping.
Please note that, in yet another example of knitterly power, see those bee shoes up there? The ones that I posted about last time? One of the very first things I began knitting for him way, way back in February? Apparently he was just waiting for them to be done, because within 24 hours of me getting them finished, he started trying to get out here and join us.
Welcome to the world, young Beckett. We're very, very excited to meet you.
welcome, beckett! and nice booties there kiddo.

Lovely baby! He's definitely ruling your roost. He's just gorgeous. Hope the labor and all went smoothly. Enjoy your rest.

What a cutie in his new booties! So does he have your red hair?

Isn't he the sweetest thing! Babies -- they just seem to *know* when the last detail has been taken care of -- with my first, it was the crib bumper. I got that and 24 hours later, she began the testing process!
Congratulations!

Beckett doesn't look like any wee beastie to me, he looks like a big baby! A beautiful, happily napping baby, but decidedly un-wee. Congratulations!!
