Birth of a Jackson

On Sunday, Kim finally emptied her uterine cavity and into the world came an expressive little man with a pronounced oral fixation. His fingers and toes are all in the right order, he only cries if there's something wrong, and he always seems on the verge of speaking.

I think we're going to get along pretty well.

I take full credit for his birth, of course. We waited for about 15 hours, and then I decided we should leave and get something to eat, operating on the same principle which comes into effect in restauraunts -- if you want your food to arrive, go to the bathroom. Inevitably, that is when it comes.

When Val and I got back from Taco Bueno, Jackson had just been born.

It's amazing how resistant everyone was to the idea of our leaving even for a second. Val's theory is that they were jealous of us, but I think it played on their insecurities -- if we could joke around and leave, then maybe they were unneccessary too.

Which they were, of course.
