    Somebody broke the cute hydrant

    By briantologist | July 14, 2005

    Okay, seriously, I know everybody says this about their own baby, but wee Henry may be the cutest baby on earth:

    I KNOW! Erin’s doing pretty well. Her C-section incision hurts, but the insurance company pays for her to stay through Friday, so she’s sure as hell doing that. Practically everyone we know has stopped by to see the kid, who’s getting really good at feeding and sleeping, sometimes simultaneously. The kitties are mildly inquisitive as to where we’ve been, but as nobody’s been telling them to stop clawing up the rugs, they’re comfortable with things. I can’t stop thinking about tiny baby, and after turning on the news to hear a story about a car bomb in Iraq blowing up a crowd of children followed by a story about some motherfucker in Los Angeles getting his 18-month-old daughter killed along with him in a gunfight with the police, I am now confident I will never let my child leave the house wearing anything less protective than an M-1A1 main battle tank. Hey there, lifetime’s worth of new anxiety! Whatcha knowin’? Get comfy.

      Where can I get a hat like that? When you said pimp, you were right.

      Congratulations! He looks like a cross between Yoda and Barney Fife…in the cutest way possible (all babies start out looking like little old men).

      And hearing those sorts of stories about children? It was bad enough before I was a mom. Post-motherhood they keep me up at night. Welcome to parenthood!

      All the worrying about the shit going on in the World is only amplified when you have a kid. Welcome to the party.

      has the baby come home and erin is still in the hospital?

      are you like a single dad for like two days?

      I think he looks like both of you, to an almost eerie degree. It’s like he was CREATED WITH YOUR DNA or something!

      i was going to say he looks like you to me, but then Sarah ruined it by being a smartass. :-)
      Best to you and Erin. I had to use a step stool to get in and out of bed for a week or so after the c-section, i dunno if that might help erin.

      Other than my two girls, Henry is by far the cutest baby I’ve ever seen!! Don’t you love the new baby smell? (It’s like that new car smell, only, nicer).

      Just another fan saying congratulations…Henry’s a gorgeous baby! And ditto on what Sharon said about the eerie Yoda resemblance…check this crap out: http://www.formfunctionemotion.net/mt-static/images/yoda.jpg.

      Of course, he looks like Yoda in the absolute cutest possible way!

      Ok, so I get hungry and I google Tulsa Chinese drive-through, and your new baby pops up. Congratulations. By the way, if Erin has about 12 oz grapefruit juice, a liver enzyme is inhibited and those Vicodins will hit twice as hard…really, check it out…good times…
