I am more than pleased to provide some details. Allow me to introduce "the Littlest Hiker," my daughter Joyce who was born on Friday September 25th at 7:31 in the morning. At birth, she weighed 8 lbs, 5 oz (3.775 kg) and was 20" (51 cm) long.
Showing great hiking promise, her eyes brightened noticably when I showed her a 1:24,000 topo.
Maps or no maps, daddy is all smiles.

Sleep? I'm not familiar with that activity. Please explain.
Prior to the baby's coming, my wife went into "nesting frenzy" to get the baby's room ready. Now that the baby is here where does she stay? In our room.
She's a fabulously wonderful little sweetie. With really good lungs. _________________ Hiking? Aw, gee, do I have to?

Congrats again!
Looks like she probably lucked out - not sharing a bday with Rumpled!
But, I do share one with Guinness on the 24th.
