Introducing Carver Kielinski

Thursday evening while waiting and dealing with delayed flights I got the best phone call from Linette to tell me she finally had the baby. This little man was two weeks late.
I received a great email from Kyle announcing his arrival and the color pics you see here. I thought I would share what he said with you:
Well, after some hemming and hawing the wee lad finally decided to make his way into the world. I'm a mighty proud papa! April 12th, 2006 at 10:53am is his official birthdate. Mother and son are doing well and we'll all be going home tomorrow afternoon. Linette was tough, strong, brave and beautiful during the lightning quick two hour active labor. Here are some pictures taken from Walter Carver Kielinski's Birth Day.

He has a ton of hair, look at his little faux hawk. Doesn't he look like a little somoan baby? He was 9lbs 21 inches, a true Kielinski.

I had the pleasure of visiting the new family on Saturday before they went home. Linette looks great and she is looking forward to being at home and bonding with baby. The nurse said visitors at home either have to bring food, help clean or do the dishes for the new parents. :) Pretty good idea. I got to take a few shots while I was there.

AWWWW! The little guy is so irresistible.

The first photos of the new family

Linette is going to be an awesome mom.

Check out the proud papa. There is something about a proud dad and new baby. It was really great seeing Kyle in his new role as daddy.

I am really excited for Linette and Kyle. This kid is going to be the most photographed kid I know with two photographer parents and countless photographer friends including myself.

Of course Auntie Joy needed a photo with the little guy!
