15Feb06: I Am Born

My name is Jacques Russell LaMere.
I was born at 7:43 p.m. 15 February 2006.
My mommy is Amy-Ann LaMere. My daddy is Jeffrey LaMere.
I weighed 8 pounds 13.4 ounces at birth. I was 21-1/4 inches long.
My hair is redish like my dad's. My eyes are blue at the moment.

My Auntie Jessie and Friend Patina were with mommy and daddy when I popped out.
My cousin Rosie and Friend Sarah were right down the hall.

Here are some pictures of me. (Click on a picture for a larger version.)

I am 3 minutes old

I am dry now, mostly

I'm told I resemble my dad

I'm not this red always

Get that bright thing outta my eyes!

That's my mom and my dad is holding me

I am saying "hello"

My dad is the biggest, bestest dad I ever saw

Somebody's wiping me again

There's three of us now

I am weighed

I feel safe here

I feel cold here

I am mostly head and chest right now

Not cranky . . . emphatic. Yeah. That's the ticket.

My mom is on the phone. She's had a rough day too.

I am measured

I am vocal

My Cousin Rosie gives me a rock

My Friend Sarah gives me a rock

It's bright out hereI'm gonna take a few winks.

Nice to be on board, folks!
