It's A Derek Von Matthies!!!!

Hey, whatcha lookin' at??? Hey, I'm only 8 hours old & the paparazzi has already found me. I made my big entrance at 7:47 this morning. I weighed in at 6 lbs. 10.5 oz. & I am a lanky 22 inches long, which I must admit impresses alot of people. In fact, I have been told that I am perfect & I wouldn't disagree with my elders.


Here's me & Dad. Isn't he a swell guy. He has such a nice voice that I try to open my eyes and look at him every time I hear him talk.



Doesn't my Mom look great!!! Even though I made her go through 24 hours of labor & then they had to come and get me via C section. Hey, a know a good thing when I have it & I wasn't givin' up easy. Though it is pretty cool on the outside. Lots of very friendly and nice people, who all think I am the center of the universe, so I know that they are very smart too.



This is my good buddy Katie. Did you know that she flew all the way from Medford Oregon just to be my very first visitor? She held me a lot today, cuz Mom & Dad were pretty pooped. I think we are going to be very good friends.
