A little over a week ago, ParentDish underwent some changes -- a spiffy new look, integration into AOL Living, and so on. On that same day, my family made a pretty big change too -- my wife Rachel and I welcomed kid number three into the world.For those wondering about the name, it's Ezra Lincoln Sinasohn and, yes, my mother-in-law approves. I'm not exactly sure where Ezra came from -- I think Rachel just liked it -- but Lincoln comes, obviously, from the president. You know, that equality, freedom, hippy guy from 150 years ago. There is also a traditional middle name in my father-in-law's family that has the same initial and ending sounds -- this is an attempt to sneak that in without stirring up too much family politics.
Ezra weighed nine pounds, four ounces at birth -- not a record by any means, but still hefty -- and was a little over twenty inches long/tall. Our other kids, Jared and Sara, are thrilled by the new arrival. Rachel is recovering, slowly but surely, as we settle into the age-old routine of feed, burp, diaper, repeat.

Uly said...Well, it's not the name I would pick, but I suppose that's why it's not my kid. Congrats.
