Oscar Hinckley Craven

Our February 5th due date came and went, and Oscar, the fetus formerly known as "OHC" decided to make his debut on Friday February 10th...! Holly's water broke about 2:30am, and we made our way to Swedish-First Hill to deliver. Active labor kicked in, and he was born at 11:23am. Weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and measuring 21.5 inches long. Holly and I couldn't be happier for our new son joining our family.



Me & Oscar. I love this boy to pieces.



All swaddled in a hip blanket. Not a crappy hospital blanket...LOL...!



Holly and Oscar.



First day home post hospital discharge in the blanket that Shelly made for us, using material that my Mom had purchased before she died. It's nice for Oscar to have a blanket from his Grandma Craven.



He loves having his hands up.



First tub time...



Relaxing on the Cookie Monster blanket that Gretchen made for him. He'll definitely learn to LOVE Cookie Monster.



Learning to take a "bink" so he doesn't cry so much...



Oscar, Holly & Grandma "Nana" Finlayson. Three generations. Oscar is the first grandson on Holly's side of the family. He joins 7 granddaughters.



A cute frog hat that our friend Betsy got for him. Perfect for walks in the brisk, cold sunny air. We feel so very fortunate and excited, blessed and exhausted all the same time. We are transitioning into parenthood just fine with minimal freak outs.
