I guess I should have put this one first. This is Mavis nine weeks into the pregnancy. She was about 1 inch long at this time. I couldn't believe how clear the image is. We had some done later in the pregnancy, but they looked mostly like blobs to me. 

Who ordered the "Screaming Baby Burrito?" 

Stop taking my picture! Damn paparazzi! 

Mavis' security guard, hard at work. 

Mavis the rock star. 

Wake up, Smiley! We are surrounded by raving lunatics! Why won't you listen to me?!? 

Mavis on her first outing -- the closing for the refinancing of our mortgage. We thought it would be a nice special treat since, like most babies, she finds legal documents fascinating. 

Mavis doesn't understand why Grandma won't give her some food. 

I call this one "Regal Mavis." Notice how big her hands are. I think she is destined for the WNBA. 

At 29 hours old, Mavis is the world's youngest Elvis fan. Here, you can see that she is imitating the King's pose on her shirt. 

It's hard to believe how tiny she is. 

The birthday party. I baked a cake and put a big "zero" candle, and we had a little party. As you can see, Mavis was really into it. 

Mavis taking her first nap. Yes, I am a terrible father. Her very first chance to get a little sleep and I'm shining bright lights in her face so I can get a good picture. 

Mavis' first bath. This photo was taken about two hours hours after her birth. She absolutely loved the water. And as you can see from this picture, she was alert and focused from the moment she was born.

Mavis is born

Mavis Jane was born at 2:59 am on August 9, 2005, at our home in Austin. It was truly the most amazing thing I've ever seen, and the best moment of my life.
