Bonus Baby Blogging: Welcome Markku
| May 16th, 2006
On Friday, May 12, 2006 at 12:27pm CDT, Markku Frederick Laukkanen — nephew of sometimes-co-blogger bean — arrived after what many moms would probably consider an envy-enducingly short and relatively painless delivery. Markku weighed in at 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 20.5 inches long.

Mom Casey and Dad Heikki are both doing well, and enjoying the new addition to their family.

The dogs, Taylor and Tilly, are also doing well, and, as you can see, already know their place. The cats are still a bit weirded out.

Markuu is sooooooo cute, Bean. Great photos too. Markuu is a little bit Fin, I’m guessing? Love her name.

I would guess that Markuu, being a nephew, is probably male. But it is a great name, and a very cute baby. Dogs are also adorable - I love the two-color head; it looks like chocolate chip and chocolate ice cream in one dish.

Congratulations! A good, traditional Finnish male name (not that there’s anything wrong about non-traditional, or non-Finnish names… ).
More of us. ;)

Nephew, not niece … sorry for the mix up. I’ve got girls on the brain, I guess, with Sydney and Maddox. Sorry. Whatever, though, he still is sooooooooooo very cute. Congrats, Bean.

HEY “BEAN”
This comment was written by Heron.Heron here, fooling around and thinking about the things you taught me about blogging.
How excellent that I can feel you right here by accessing this and in “reality” you are most likely fast asleep…or something.
ANYWAY…Really, Congratulations Aunt Bean! Gawd that is just way too similar to Aunt Bea, Bee…you know the one. Markku is amazing!
I told you et al… that we can get together this Sunday, and it was not until this evening after work that I realized I will be at Johnny Winter. Can ya still meet up? I imagine the show will be over by 10 or so. XXOO
Your Sista,
Heron
