Always ones to give in to popular demand, here's some more pictures of Ivan. Enjoy.

Ivan the Great

While it may sound cliche, the birth of Ivan (our son) is a significant marker on the road of my life, though what it all marks I've yet to discover. I have already found that negligence towards children, especially infants, is even less tolerable to me now than it was prior to Ivan's birth. I've also discovered that looking at a sleeping kid in a crib for great lengths of time can be quite enjoyable.

On a somewhat unrelated note, several people have commented that Ivan Hunter is a strong name. I don't recall anyone ever commenting on what images/feelings my name inspires. Perhaps it's better that way.

Now that you've worked your way through my ramblings, here's what you wanted to see - Ivan. These pictures are several weeks old. He's filled out quite a bit since these were taken.

For those interested, at birth Ivan weighed 6 pounds 1 oz and was 19.75 inches long. Cheers.
