I have held off on sharing the news of being a first time Grandpa. But a few people were wondering so the kid is out of the warm quarters he has been spending months in!
Missed being the first baby of the year by about 3 hours or so. That is okay. 2024 tax write off for my daughter and her husband is better.
All went well with the birth of Everett Charles Kenton...aka Charlie!
Good looking kid weighed in at 8lb 10oz
After 2 weeks he is doing well and likes to listen to his grandpa sing to him.
This photo is from today, 1-14-25 about an hour ago!
I am on baby/mama duty today so my wife can get into work as she has not been in since before Christmas.
The hesitation in posting is because although Charlie is well and breast feeding and doing what babies should do...we will be Back in Colorado next week for our daughter Jaime.
A day after birth, she had a seizure and they found a glioma mass between her brain and skull.
Surgery is on the 24th in Aurora Colorado at U.C. Anschutz...and success rate is extremely high. But the surgeon did not use the word 100%.
Jaime is supposed to have another adult around until the surgery. So far no problems or recurring issues.
Charlie has already been to Denver once in his 2 week life and will have his 2nd trip to Colorado next week...you can't keep a new mama from her baby for 5 days or more.
That is the short story. Spirits are positive for all of us but the unknown is scary at this time.
However, Jaime is an incredible fighter and attacks everything with a positive and tenacious attitude...ever since she was a young girl. We will be by her side the entire time!
And yes....Charlie really likes his grandpa and has officially had a dirty diaper 4 out of the 6 times I have changed him!! (hard to get in diaper duty when 2 women are around all the time until today!)
Until next time... Remember room temperature wipes are about 30 degrees colder than a babies tush!!
