Okay, okay. Technically, he belongs to my little sister (Evie) and her husband (Mike), and his name is Micah Aiden Vann.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Micah arrived on September 24th and I have not met him yet, but I am totally in love with him. Those big, basketball baby hands, those enormous liquid eyes, that squinchy, chubby baby face! AAAHHH!<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; He had a really good term, from what I hear &#8211; Evie&#8217;s fitness was hardcore this time and she didn&#8217;t suffer &#8211; but during delivery he aspirated a bit of amniotic fluid &#038; meconium and had trouble breathing at first. Poor guy was on a respirator for most of his first day; but with lots of prayers and good mojo, the kid got his lungs going and came home safe and sound.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I can&#8217;t wait to meet him.

I hope someday I&#8217;ll give him a little cousin to play with &#8211; but if not, he and Malakai are going to come visit Auntie Josie and Uncle Mark and play with our dogs and swim in our pool (yeah, I&#8217;m still dreaming about that pool) and we&#8217;re going to love him!<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Welcome to the world, Baby Cuckoo!
