Just wanted to interject a quick post here amidst the little winning streak the Reds have going now, and let everyone know where I've been for the past few weeks. Carter James Arney was born on April 9th, and he's been keeping me pretty busy since then. Here he is in his first (I'm sure of many) Reds outfit.

I also wanted to thank Slyde and everyone else who contributed for the outfits and Reds book. Alli and I loved it all (the "Juan Castro makes my cry bib" was probably my personal favorite) and I'm going to get some pictures of those up ASAP.

Open thread question: Parenting advice. Share what you know, I'm always looking to learn. And it looks like I'm not the only new father around, so it could be a lively thread.

How long until you stop poking them in the middle of the night to make sure they're still breathing?
