This is my daughter.  I suppose that maybe makes me an adult now.

Her name is Andelyn Packard Vaughn.  But ill call her Andie.


She was born at 4:04am on 1/10/13.

She weighed 8lbs and 11 ounces. She was 21 and 3/4 inches tall.

Her mom tried beyond reason to push her out naturally for two full days.  But, without her waters to protect her, baby Andie needed to come out sooner than nature could make it happen.  So in the earliest morning and longest evening of all our lives, her mom and I welcomed baby Andie into the world with the wonders of modern science.

Ive learned so many lessons already in my daughter's first day.   Here are a few:

Poop on mom is funny.  Poop on me is also pretty funny (for now).

Babies are surprisingly pliable, and surprisingly strong.

My feet beat Marin's feet in the great evolutionary gamble.

And I love her to bits.

My plan is to only post photos here, and not on the social media industrial complex, so please check back often.  I'm off work for a while, and its my hope to update this log daily while I'm a full time dad.

Thanks and Cheers
Ryan
