Maybe it is because you put the government on his shoulders rightaway?
Again, congratulations and careful hugs to all three of you!

Yaaay, congratulations Garners!!!!

Michael is an adorable baby - possibly the cutest I've seen so far


May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

Garner, you'll figure most of the reasons soon, some though will always be mysterious, so after you do all the basics like feed, change, look for pokey stuff in his clothes, try to joke him out of it, blow hard in his face to see if you can startle him out of it, check for fever or stiffness. well sometimes you just have to lay him in his crib and walk away. Sometimes we all have to cry. You can't spoil him by holding him at this stage or by picking him up at the first peep even, that just helps him know he is safe and he will just get less demanding as he is sure he will be taken care of. He may get low altitude disease from time to time, but it really isn't that bad to have to walk around with a baby for a while. When you can tell he's doing it on purpose is when the fun really begins. I'm sure you will be a great dad and I agree with Mazekin he may be the cutest ever. I'd say you may just have to invest in anti-girl devices right away.

Aw, I don't believe that spoiling is an issue yet. Their thinking processes are too basic and instinctive ("Don't leave me alone or the tiger will come and eat me!") to be tarnished by conclusions during the first months. Just do what your guts tell you to do, in a few weeks you'll have more than a clue.

Congratulations Clay and Grace! I'll have to wait until I get home to see the pictures as work has blocked face book. I'm sure your ear will adjust to what cry means what very soon.

Congrats guys. Thats great news!

Why crying:

1. Hungry
2. Wet/dirty nappy
3. Pissed at the world
4. Hungry

Sounds like a male Garner all right...
Congrats to the three of you, and welcome to this crazy world young Michael. You won't ever get used to it, but it will grow on you eventually.

Thanks, guys! We're tired, but doing OK. I am getting expert at breastfeeding, and Garner is getting expert at nappy changing.

He is lovely. Just remember that when he brings his first girlfriend home you can embarrass him with all his baby photos including ones of him in the bath.
