Pics of the Little Red Head

Well, yesterday's labor was long and boring, but at 5:48 we finally welcomed Dylan Parker Fife to our family. He weighed in at 8 lbs even and 21 inches long. That's a little lighter than we expected, but the biggest surprise was his red hair! We have the combination of the Middlemiss and the Nelson (both his Grandmas) genes to thank for that. He spends most of his time asleep, but he is a very content little guy when he is awake.

Here's his reddish hair. Sometimes it looks reddish blond, sometimes reddish brown. It is really affected by the lighting.


And here's a really cute picture Kirk took during Dylan's first bath. I just think he looks really relaxed and sweet.
