This is a title shamelessly lifted from this amazing Amy Arbus book. Once you’ve had a look through and can compare it to people you’ve observed at the moments they come into the cold world of air and light, can you truly appreciate.
This is my son, Thomas Henry Scott, IV. Trust me when I tell you that he’s named for his grandfather. Certainly there will be other images of him to grace the web, but these are the beginning. Happy Birthday, Henry.
EDIT: Almost forgot the numbers – 8 pounds, 6 ounces and 20.5 inches at 10:51 am, January 30th, 2009.
And this is the french fry heat lamp they put him under right after he got here. It should be noted that his sister was considerably angrier when this all happened to her and despite that, we’ve kept her.

He is beautiful! Congratulations you two… or should I say congrats to all 4 of you? Remember, we are available for babysitting at any time:-)
Hey guys! What great news!! Congratulations and we can’t wait to meet him. Zoe is going to be a great big sis! I was running by just the other day and noticed that car seat wasn’t in your car yet… I thought to myself, they better get moving! Congrats and get some rest:)
Love, Danielle, Andy, Abby and Leslie
Hey! Congratulations on another Scott! And with a numerical suffix, too! Rest up, when possible and have fun when not resting!
Enjoy!
