Surely the rest of NYC spent the day caught up in some kind of crazy holiday hustle and bustle, but Milo and his parents snuggled up in relative quiet, and hid away, in a cozy world of playtime and diapers and pushing on the bear rug, a vist from Charlie who brought a baby-size tree, and naps for all three of us (a first!)...
When we woke up, there were phone calls with friends and family too far away, and all we hear is, "Send more pictures!" So, for those of you who can't see in person how much our little son has grown, this is for you:
These pictures are for real! No fancy razzle-dazzle retouching by the photographer/father. Milo is every bit as intelligent and cudly and handsome as you see! And he's incredibly tolerant and cooperative - even with his Grandma - who's far less skilled in caring for him than his parents. And Becca and Charles are both so very happy with their precious gift. His arrival and healthy presence brings to all of us the true meaning of Christmas joy.

What an absolute gift. What inspiring coziness. Sending you all love ... and rest :)
