Baby Vogue

What it took Madonna years to develop as a dance pose—or whatever it is—my baby Nadège does in her sleep.

Madonna's a hack.

. . . and the photos continue

This is a little birth announcement I made up to e-mail to people about the arrival of Nadège Autumn. I made a different one that I'm giving out and snail-mailing to people but I figured this would be good to send out via e-mail. But the funny thing I realized is that there are very few people who I exchange e-mails with who are not on Facebook. And since I've posted so many photos on Facebook there are few people to e-mail this too except those last few stubborn Facebook holdouts.

But here it is on the blog and maybe I'll put it up on Facebook too. I don't even have that many photos of Nadège yet but I'm going a little crazy, I admit. I even just printed up a bunch of wallet-sized ones and I want to attach them together so I can open up my wallet and they will come falling out in a dangling spread of cliché daddy pride.

Wallet-sized are in the mail to grandpas and grandmas too.

Nadège arrives

Little Nadège Autumn Menard Henderson finally arrived and is at home with mom and dad, the three of us getting to know one another.

Mommy is still in full-scale recovery. Daddy is still exhausted trying to catch up on sleep and back at work. Little Naddy is beautiful and is exploring with sights and sounds and feeling her way around the world.

I'm sure I'll have much more to say about this incredible experience in the days, weeks and months to come. Not to mention photographs. Having a daddy who has photography as a hobby means little Nadège will be one heavily-photographed baby.

Good thing she is so incredibly cute.
