the kid is here


Sorry for the delay in posting some pictures of the new baby. For those of you who don't know already, this is Beckett Ross Grange. He was born on February 21st at 1:12 p.m. Following Grange boy tradition, he was 9 lbs, 3 oz and 21.5 in long. Anne and I are both surprised at how quickly we have fallen for this kid. I've never been a huge fan of babies, but I can't stop staring at him. I'm starting to understand why so many parents tell boring stories about their kids because everything Beckett does is pretty intriguing to me. I'm sure we will have plenty more pictures on the way, but here are a few of our favorites.








This is Annie, pre-labor









Anne was induced at 8:30, started the hard pushing at 12:20 and Beckett was here soon after 1. This is oversimplified and I hope Anne will elaborate later, but you get the idea.










Beckett with Grandma Judy, with his Mommy, a rare shot with his eyes open and Annie's hospital jewelry.
