on october 1, 2009 at 10:42am, i made my grand entrance into the world!  i had one hand raised, waving “hello world!  here i am!”

mommy was thrilled to finally get to hold me and so happy to see that i had 10 fingers   (she never got to see my fingers in the ultrasounds because i was always clenching my fists.)

daddy tried to cut my umbilical cord, but mommy moved just as he was snipping, so he really just nicked the cord with the first attempt.  ha!

i weighed in at 7 pounds, 8 ounces, and measured 21 inches long.  i have mommy’s button nose and long fingers.  i have daddy’s “lucky” earlobes and strong chin.  i hope i didn’t get those dreaded quon eyebrows!

it’s so bright out here, so i don’t like to open my eyes much — and when i do, i only open one at a time.  if you look closely at the photo of mommy and daddy holding me, you’ll see what i mean.  i wonder why everyone is calling me a flirt
