Congrats to Jenn and Emily who both won the 'Guess the Birthdate" contest for Ninja Baby. They both will receive 4x6 glossy photo of NB

Here are some more NB photos.

After a twenty-eight (!) hour labour, Ninja Baby arrived kicking and screaming into the world, at around 6:00 o'clock. He (yes it is indeed a boy) weighed in at a fit seven pounds, and when I say kicking, I personally observed NB deliver a stunningly technically accurate side-kick and center-level punch (thumb outside of fist instead of inside) while the doctors and nurses worked on him at the incubator. A natural born martial artist, perhaps?

I call this his "Bill the Cat Face"... "ack" indeed!

I call this his "James Brown" face.

Number One Mom & Dad with Ninja Baby.

Number One Mom knit him this nice sweater. Big shout out to Non-Asian Sister-In-Law who knit NB a nice warm burgundy cap.

Cheers!

(PS: For those of you who know NB's real name, we are kindly asking that you do not use it on anything that will end up on an Internet blog or Facebook page. Feel free to use "Ninja Baby" from now on. Thanks.)

Unfortunately, Barbit is out of the running of the Baby Contest. Her guess of Oct. 17 has expired. Incidentally Number One Mom's guess of Oct. 19 has also expired.

The suspense continues....

A temporary distraction from all the economic doom and gloom. Here are my top 10 all time favourite Sesame Street bits.
