I can't say it, but it rhymes with "shmalmage."

We decided to just let Dante choose his own middle name. He had a great many ideas to choose from — Benito, Corn Flakes, Lorenz, Chewbacca and Julian, just to name a few — and he took his time thinking about all of them and giving each name a fair shake.

After much deliberation, and real good cry, Dante (little) chose the middle name Talmage, in honor of his mother's great grandfather, Percy Talmage Wright, who was a submarine commander in the US Navy.

Go Navy.

Little Mop-Head!


Awwww!!!

Little Dante ________ Cipriano arrived at 11:38 this morning, weighing in at 9 pounds even.
Thanks for the calls and the good wishes. More photos soon.



It has begun...

See you in parenthood!

Get a Move On Already!


Copious amounts of mint chocolate chip ice cream doesn't seem to be doing the trick... but it's the most delicious method we can come up with. Throw in some... well, okay, an entire roll... of thin mints, and baby can jolly well stay put for another week!

That's Just Silly

More practice with dressing children.
Sprinkles! was nonplussed. At best.



But seriously folks, the newest date with the highest level of expectiosity is this Friday, March 9.
Mother and child are doing very well.
(Yes, Dad is great, too, thankyouverymuch)
