Thanks for changing my diaper again. I feel much better now. 

Dad doesn't realize how annoying the flash is on his camera. I just want to sleep ... 

Thomas is sleeping soundly on daddy's chest. 

Dad looks tired but happy. 

Joseph and Isaac love Thomas so much. They both want to take turns holding him. 

Thomas likes to hang out with his big brother Isaac. 

Mommy with all her boys! 

Thomas takes a nap. Mom looks great! 

Mommy, Daddy and Thomas Henry Bates

Daddy had to smuggle his cameraphone into the hospital nursery for this photo. "Hospital protocol"prohibits cameraphones, but daddy wasn't going to have it. Way to go dad!

Getting hungry ... 

Yawn! Man, I'm tired. 

I'm naked under here. What gives? Put that blanket back on me right now! Geez! 

It's still too bright for me to want to open my eyes. I'd much rather go to sleep.  

Check out that grip! 

Suzanne gets to cuddle with the Thomas and welcome him to the world.  

Welcome to our family Thomas Henry Bates! 

Ice cream is a crowd pleaser. Taking a break at the new and improved park down the street.  

Isaac wants a hampster now, but mommy and daddy won't allow it! 

Joey trying to kick daddy ... and enjoying it! 

Dad and Isaac went on a daring adventure deep in the woods of Forest Park. Behold ... Isaac of the Jungle.
