the grape has a name
At 6:06 am this morning, the testMonkey clan welcomed its newest member: Amber Christina… er… testMonkey. She weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz. Momma and baby are doing great and seem to be getting along just fine (none of that “mother eating their young” nonsense here -no sir!). See for yourself:



Stay tuned as more pics will follow.

Congrats to all! Goodbye nice long restful nights too!
…or so I hear. No experience yet.
Congrats to both of you!!! The baby is beautiful - took after her mother, obviously! So glad everything is okay. Give our best to Christina and a hug to Amber.
Yippee — another monkey to spoil! Presents forthcoming.
Red Hair and big feet. Something from two makes one. Way to go you two.
This will go down in record as one of the most important days of your lives. You will now experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows all based around this little tiny monkey. It is the best ride in the world! We can’t wait to meet her!

Love and joy to the THREE of you……….oh, she is beautiful! Once they get here, it is so hard to remember time before they arrived. Can’t wait to meet her in person!
To think of two people that just a few years ago were running around my backyard throwing food at each other and watching mesmerized as I rubbed ice cream on myself having a child is frightening really. Not so much because of their derelict past but more because it means that I may one day have to become a…shudder…responsible adult too.
Seriously, congratulations and good work on the “homework.”
Duuuude…congrats. I know I just talked to you and all, but I figured there’d be something on here and I wanted to see pics! Amber is so lucky she got her looks from her mom. I don’t think we could deal with another funky monkey like yourself! Anyhoo, we’ll be joining you shortly…
Let the poo flinging begin!
Good job you 2. Little Amber is just cute as a button. Luv Ya
Congratulations! You guys are in for the best ride of your life. Enjoy every second, even the bad ones, i.e. sleepless nights, endless crying, baby puke, nasty diapers, etc… Before you know it that little grape will crawl up and hug you while saying “Dada” or “Mama” over and over. Its moments like that that make it all worth it.
Hello there I was glad to see how happy three people can be while looking tired as can be. The biggest congrads to the both of you. I’m glad to here that I can call this little one “Amber” unstead of baby.
What a doll! How blessed you are! We would do it all over again if we could but alas and alack, we’re too ancient. Enjoy all the giggles and tantrums alike, they are over too soon.
Congrats on your grape…so cool. Sleep when she is sleeping. See you in the summer!
