Oye, What a day. People always look forward to Friday afternoons. I don’t know why exactly, maybe that’s something I’ll have to figure out later on in life. But, as far as I’m concerned, Fridays, you can keep`em! First, I’m nice and warm, minding my own business, kicking mom occasionally in the lungs. Next thing I know, I’m being dragged out of this tiny little space, people are all screaming their heads off (or, was that me, I can’t remember, things are a little fuzzy), I get a nice big ol slap on the butt, and people are all smiling at me like I’m supposed to do something important or give a speech. I’d much rather take a nap, maybe grab a snack, and, well, take another nap and maybe eat a little more later.Mom and Dad, however, seem to have other plans for me. They keep handing me around to folks and introducing me to people. It’s difficult to keep up with all of the names at this point and remember whose body parts of mine came from whom. Again, I’d really just rather nap.

Oh, by the way, I have a pee pee and my name is Wyatt Edward Williams, or so I’m told (repeatedly). I was born allegedly at 1:18pm this very day¹ at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham, AL. I weigh 8 lbs 7 ounces, but am doing my best to add to that. And, I am 20 and one half inches long. Life seems pretty crazy at the moment. I’d like to tell you more, but, I really have no clue what is going on. Hopefully, people will begin to clue me in.

That’s it for now. Time for a good cry and a little sleeping.
