Roman R, BRB

I thought I'd take a moment to welcome my friend's baby into the world. Born last Monday, he had his bris yesterday. The mother was kind enough to invite me to the hospital the third day after she had given birth, where I made the above photo.

When my first nephew was born my brother would send me photos where he was happy or smiling. I always wondered why parents only sent photos of their children either looking happy or asleep while they complained about how their babies would keep them up at night. I encouraged my brother to send me photos of my nephew in different sorts of moods. Unfortunately, he didn't really have the time. Taking care of the baby was work enough.

I couldn't resist posting this photo of Roman. It's actually one of my favorite and one I was thinking of printing for the parents. And actually, during my visit he was very well behaved, so long as he was being held. This was taken in one of the rare moments when he wasn't.

P.S. BRB is an inside joke based on the child's initials.
