Thursday, December 19th, 2002 - Milk Here he is! I'm still not sure of the spelling, or actually of his last name, but for now I'll make my best guess. Presenting . . . Aleister Dante Shaw-Seiflein Age 2.5 days Here's Holly and her new son. He doesn't open his eyes much yet. Aleister and his favorite aunt Heather Check out his long skinny legs and the supersoft fuzzy booties. So cute! The nurses said he was the cutest baby in the ward, that he looked elf-like (they hastened to add, "not Santa-elf, but, you know, cute-elf"). He does have a somewhat elfish cast about his features, which is not surprising since he's my little pagan sister's son. My sister has a son! I have a nephew, living with me! He's just amazing . . . (My apologies for the file sizes on this page; Tim did the photoshopping this time, and his definition of "big files" is rather different from mine, and I'm too tired to download them and fix them right now.) Gurgle and coo.
