Michelle was too cheap to get me a Father's Day Present so she decided to deliver a baby for me instead. Ty was born at 2:16 AM on June 16th (Father's Day) at Yale New Haven Hospital. He was almost 2 weeks early, weighed-in at 8 pounds 8 ounces and measured 20.5 inches.

Ty Dylan Theodore Challey at 2 Minutes old!
I can't understand why this labor and delivery tires Michelle so ... I felt fine.
"Hey! Put me back ... it's cold, dry, bright and noisy out here!"
Mom and Baby.
Taylor and Nick meet the newest member of our family and see Mom.
Sleeping - unfortunately this is the "day mode" night mode is far less quiet. He's either going to have to adjust his sleep habits or I'm going to have to find a night job!
Were not sure where the name "Ty" came from but Taylor really liked it ... as you can see ... "beanie babies" had it first! Dylan was a name we have always liked and Theodore is my Great Grandfather's name. Michelle thought it would be cute to have "TNT" for kids ... how appropriate ... God help us.
Nick and Taylor liked the fountain at the hospital.
Taylor getting to know her new little brother.
Taylor trying to be very careful around Ty's soft, little head.
I told the nurse to just charge the medical supplies to our room ... I think she did!
Not a care in the world ...
June 20th ... 4 days old
Sleeping during the day ... what a shock.
