On April 4th at 7:06 p.m., my wife gave birth to our baby boy, John Sykes Richardson.  He was 3 1/2 weeks early and weighed 6 pounds 1 ounce.

We immediately enrolled him in the space program (picture).
 

His mom had to wait 14 hours before she got to hold him for the first time.


 

but it didn't take long for them to bond.


 

 The best pictures of him were taken right before he came home.  He was concentrating on eating.

His eyebrows were furrowed as if this bottle was some complicated physics problem (e.g., 2 ounce bottle, 20 miles from home, how fast do I have to drink to get home before midnight?).  I think that he is actually trying to work out a statement of cash flows in his head while eating (accounting humor if there is such a thing).
