Nightmares

Having a sick baby is a nightmare, except in a nightmare, you get to sleep.

Gavin, Day 2

Here a few more photos of Gavin. These are from his second day of existence as a separate being.

Welcome, Gavin

Today my lovely wife Alison gave birth to our new son, Gavin. I'm very excited to get to know him.

The Scion of Grondul

After my post announcing my intended label for any child or children Alison and I have, Michael F. proposed this more catchy alternative:

the Scion of Grondul, noun phrase. Any individual Grondulspawn.

I think his proposal has a more formal tone, and I expect that it will be reserved it for more...significant occasions: state dinners and such:

• "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to present the Scion of Grondul."
  
• "You will cower before all the Scions of Grondul."
  
• "Dear god, it's the Scion of Grondul!"

You get the idea.

Grondulspawn

I've recently come up with a great description for any future---repeat, future---children Alison and I might have:

Grondulspawn, noun. Any child or children produced by Team Grondul.
