A week ago tonight, Kate gave birth to our first child, Ian Parker Smith. He was born at 6:41 pm on November 1, 2011 (our eighth anniversary). He measured 19.5 inches long and weighed six pounds and one ounce.
We made a couple videos for out-of-town friends and relatives. The first showcases his long fingers and big feet.
Since newborns spend so little of their time awake, this second one catches him with his eyes open.
Jonathon’s sister and brother-in-law visited on Sunday and took a picture. Kate was less than flattered by the family pictures in the hospital, in her glamour gown, so we figured we should get a few, nicer shots. This is one of them.

THE SMITHS 
He is such a precious baby! Wish we lived closer so I could snuggle him. Love the videos!
So good to see your little guy in pictures! Welcome Ian Parker Smith! We are praising God for his arrival and it appears all went well with Mother and child. I see Jonathon has not lost his humor….noticed the “rabbit ears.” ;~)
May God bless the expansion of the Smith family and the blessings of a grandchild/great-granchild are too numerous to mention!
Love y’all…The Bauers!
Rabbit ears behind a defenseless little baby! If he could talk…”not fair Dad! just wait till have to go again!”
