Why one has babies: a photoessay

To see that certain look in your husband's eye -- that mix of heartaching love, wonder at the mysteriousness and greatness of the universe, and poop-his-pants-style fear:

Dada and 12-hour-old Isaac

To see that husband morph into an overglorified baby-holster (and suddenly become even more hot than ever before):

Dada with 2-week-old Isaac

And, of course, to place your baby in things he is way too small to belong in and take his picture:

Love it love it love it! Totally mandatory that you do the "put your baby in things he is too small for" photo shoot!

Hi Claire, I love reading Isaac's blog - you are very entertaining. Claudia is well and also an avid Thomas fan. All she wanted for Christmas was Toby! I have posted some photos of her Thomas setup on her website http://homepage.mac.com/caplin1. I have lost your email otherwise I would have sent them to you. Take care, you all look very well and happy. I miss our evenings wandering around Radford Court with our toddlers. Good luck with UB's entry into this world! love from your aussie mates, Jodi, Neil and Claudia

LOL Love the look from day 1 to 2 weeks later! The picture says so much! It totally describes how we all feel two weeks into this parenting thing.

Claire!: I am so glad you are blogging again. I missed hearing about all of you. Good luck with the sleep solution...I always found the more peaceful my kids were before bedtime the better they slept. I think Isaac has his Dad's super energy. Good to hear about your naming criteria..no Dweezil or Moon Unit O'Neals. Re potty training...I gave both my daughter and myself a chocolate chip when she used her potty chair..she understood the concept of the chair instantly, but why should she change a routine that had worked fine without some kind of incentive. I'm sure this led to issues when she was a teenager, but who looks that far ahead. I have no memory of training my son...I just remember he loved to pee in the back yard.
Good luck with everything. You are going to enjoy your second baby so much! Susan
