  2. my daughter is now 8 months old. seeing your pictures took me back to the recovery suite.

    much joy. they sleep a lot at first…you’ll think to yourself, “hey, this is easy!”…then they wake up…

    …and crawl.

  7. Congratulations!

    Definitely biy diapers by the case. Wipes too.

    Newborn babies are sadists (in about a week–give or take–you will see what I mean), I hope you stockpiled on sleep. :-)

  8. Aw. So cute. I wish you the best of luck.

    You know that the stuff they poop in the first week isnt really poop. Its the stuff that was in the kid to begin with, Meconium I think its called, and its a blackish goo. Anyway, there’s usually a lot of it that come out and boy! does that stuff stain!

    Keep a look out for it. Best wishes.

  10. All hail the new King, King Squirrelly! Congratulations to you, Matt and to the Queen! I’ve been squirrelly-enhanced for 12 years now and it has been a blast! Hope you’re caught up on all the movies you’ve been wanting to see, cause it’s gonna be a while before you get to the next one. Keep posting, please!

  11. Oh, such an adorable face! Welcome, Squirrely. This life thing can be fun. Especially if you sleep a lot at night, eat quickly without hurting your mom, and laugh a lot as soon as you can.

    Congratulations, Yeti and Queen. May your Squirrely be an easy, laid-back newborn who grows into a delightful person.

  17. Squirrelly is absolutely beautiful. He is what you imagine when you think of a beautiful baby boy! Congradulations!!! Keep the cat AWAY!!!

  25. Hes cute. Don’t feed him crack. He’ll turn out like me and surf blogs of people he’ll never meet in real life. Congrats

  28. A casual, “hm, I wonder if the yeti’s posted” turned into a complete gasp of surprise.

    WOW!!! It came! That is just…wow!

  29. Blimey! I take a week off, come back to check if anything’s going on and the Squirrelly’s turned up!! Hello Squirrelly!!

    Congratulations to you, the Queen, and of course, the cat. ;)

  32. i’m a big fan of yours – congratulations on the baby – i’m sure your comments will be better than “baby blues” :)

  33. I’d like to take this opportunity to offer you some child-raising advice:

    When choosing a tattoo, try to find some original artwork first, because if you bring him into the tattoo parlor unprepared, you will end up with some generic “flash art” that will look terribly tacky in just a few years.

  41. It looks like the comments page has become the most regularly updated section of DY, 6 days and nary a new entry to the site… come on man! bringing up a squirel isn’t that hard…

    also congratulations.

    (this above 190 posts could come together to make some good scrapbook gubbins)

  42. Mister Kitty has a new plaything! Congratulations on teh squirrelly coming into being :D

  44. Warm congratulations and best of luck to you guys. I wish we were there in Seattle to help/laugh. But since we’re not, I’ll give you some advice from afar: take good care of the Queen, and get out of the house (all three of you) as much as you can. Welcome to the world SB!

  46. congrats yeti. the squirrelly is amazing. totally freaking amazing. you and the queen are very lucky.

  49. Yay! Congrats! Best wishes to your little family. (BTW – isn’t it cool saying “We’re a family” those first few days?) Babies are precious – and seem to be little temporal anomalies. Time starts acting really wacky around them – so fast some days and so slow others.

    Enjoy the little one – and don’t worry about updating the site. I think you have something just a *little* more important now! ;) And when you find time to post – if this blog turns into something similar to Lileks – so what? I love his stuff. I’ll still look forward to your blog – whatever it contains! Again, Congrats!
