Aiden and Meghan's baby has arrived -- a month early and very small, but breathing on his own and in general being a champ. He didn't cry when he was born, but, as Aiden said, "took it straight." 

They are all still in the hospital, hoping to be able to go home in not too many more days. I offered, of course, to fly there immediately, but for now the three of them are happy just being their own new little family. And Aiden is sending lots of pictures, none of which I am allowed to post anywhere public. So here is a picture of him instead.

I remember a thousand moments of his baby- and childhood -- a thousand moments that he doesn't remember now, but that I will never forget. He was my little boy and now he has a little boy of his own. Time passes and we all grow up. But there is a tiny part of me that lives forever in his childhood.
