Wow. I'm telling you, meeting your new child is the best ever possible thing. We clicked with little Silas right off the bat -- we've just got so much in common.

Jeanine is the perfect mom, and God blessed her with a complication-free, superfast delivery. She's feeling great and is already coming up with stuff to post. So pictures, movies, and reaction and commentary from the previous Baby Teague are in the works. Until then, here are the particulars:

Name: Silas Anthony Teague.
Weight: 8 pounds, 12 ounces. Large and in charge!
Height: 20 inches.
Birthday: 10:19am, May 18, 2005.
Age at birth: 39 weeks, 1 day.
Age as I type: Three days and a couple hours.
Hair: Light, light, blondish-y brown. It covers the sides, back, and just a bit of the top of his head.
Disposition: Pleasant and kind to all he encounters (save the evil nurses with the shots and the manhandling and such).
Language(s): English, Spanish (the latter due to the unexpected arrival of -- get this -- another family in our recovery room. There was such a baby boom this week that they actually had to double us up. Let's just say that we are as intimately familiar with the new Hernandez baby boy as we are our own.).
Hands: Man-size. Seriously. Between these hands and the circumference of his head, he could pass for a 24 year old. When we left the hospital, he was asked where his wife and child were.

[note: Silas rules all on his own, but comparisons to his big brother are inevitable, informative, and fun! Make sure you check out the stats from the last go-around, 22 months ago.]
