Cooper Is Here
At 10:07am this morning Cooper Michael Barron was born. He weighed 8 pounds and 13 ounces and measured 20 inches long. Shannon was incredible (as usual); the actual pushing part of labor only lasted about 30 minutes. Here are a few pictures leading up to and including Cooper's birth:
- In the warming area, getting cleaned up
- Family picture (minus Libby)
- Bundled up tight
- Just like Libby, Cooper and I spent a long time just staring at each other
- Immediately after coming out – umbilical cord just cut
- The night before, getting settled and watching TV

Libby Gets a Caricature
Libby got a caricature done this past Friday (Shannon or I will probably scan and post it at some point). Here she is trying to be patient as the artist captures her:
- giggling at the camera
- smiling at the artist
- getting bored
