William continues to grow fatter and taller. He has a little chortle now I'm certain will become a full-blown laugh very soon.

My son, William Henry Hinson, came early, at a quarter to nine in the morning on August 26th, 2004. All eight lbs. 1 oz. came out just right. He's pink and golden, with a full head of fine light hair. He looks just like his father;same cleft, same lips, even the same ear lobes. He does have my hands. So far he eats (this is his favorite pastime), sleeps, hiccups, burps, and coos. Oh, and he cries. When he cries he says "Oo-La, Oo-La" or maybe he is saying "Allah." I've got a wish list started for him at Amazon. It's never too early to start that library. William's Library
