The Hammer has dropped

Please welcome Titus Joshua Sharkey to the world. This little one was born on April 15th 2008, he was 8 lbs 3 ozs and screaming his lungs out. Mom is doing great, in fact I came to the conclusion after watching our little man make his entrance, that if men had to have the babies the human race would have died off many years ago. Here's to you woman, you school men in the pain tolerance department.

You may be wondering about his name. Well here was our criteria for choosing his name.
1. His name can't be something that everyone has
2. His name has to be easy to spell
3. His name has to be able to be shortened or lend itself to a good nickname
4. His name must mean something we want him to become.

Obviously Titus isn't your every day name, i think it ranks like 500 or something like that. Its easy to spell in fact in wheel of fortune you might not even have to buy a vowel to figure it out. If he doesn't like it he can choose to be called "Ti", or eve go by his initials, "T.J.". Lastly His name means hero and who doesn't want their child to be a hero?

I'm pretty sure our son is the most attractive baby ever born, but I could be a little bias (but I think I'm probably right).

well now for the reason you came, the pics.
