Sweet Child of Mine

I am more than proud to announce (3 weeks after the fact) that Owen Gregory Thomas has been born into this world. He was, for all who don't know, 8.6 pounds 21" long. I must say, perhaps simply because he is mine, that he is the finest looking baby that I have ever seen.
In all seriousness, God has been gracious in his providence to Adri and I with all that has come about in our lives with the birth of our son. Both Adrianne and Owen are doing just fine.

On a simply human note, it is very fascinating to watch an infant learn and experience new sensations, simple ones too. For example it is amazing to watch him be fearful of having his diaper changed (by mom of course)and worrisome over being laid down in a spacious spot. I think that that is amazing that he simply doesn't know ANYTHING and is therefore on constant sensory overload. Yet I must say, as a more than proud father, he is still the smartest baby around. I mean c'mon he is a chip off the ol' block and that's not too shabby if I must say so myself.

Seriously, we love our son whom God has given us. Thank you for your prayers and friendly reminders about my putting him on the blog. Perhaps, I have a Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes complex? Can't let the paparazzi see the baby too early.

Finally, yes. I have sung Guns N Roses, "Sweet Child of Mine" to my son several times (not the Sheryl Crow version either).
