Son of a Buckeye

Today was our boy's introduction to Ohio State football, against Michigan, no less. We made sure he was sporting some scarlet and gray, and wrapped in an Ohio State blanket. He pretty much snoozed through the game- it was rather dull, wasn't it? At least we had a victory. We are enjoying each day with him, falling more in love with him each moment we spend with him.

"First down!"

Oh yes, everyone is wondering about his name. We finally decided on Zachary Alexander Wilhelmsen. Alexander is my maiden name, and I have always loved it for either a boy or a girl. The meaning of Zachary is "God has Remembered," and Alexander means "Defender of Mankind." It's a good, strong, long name! So now we have things covered from Z to A with him.

He has been smiling a little today, which is a delight. He was up every hour last night and has slept quite a bit today. Time to switch time zones from IUT (Intrauterine Time) to Mountain Daylight, Buddy! His golden locks are probably my favorite thing to gaze at so far. Everyone loves his full, juicy lips and button nose, also.

Tiny mullet- business in front, party in the back!
