Blakie and his mommy Becky and son Blake (08.08)

Within this site, you'll find an odd assortment of web-related content, family pictures, my personal blog, and other miscellany. You'll also find more photos of my sweet baby Blakie than you'd ever want to see.

Blake was born with craniosynostosis, a birth defect that affects 1 in 2000 babies. Because his metopic (forehead) suture was prematurely closed and his head couldn't grow normally, his head had a triangular shape. Apart from the stigma of an odd-shaped head, craniosynostosis can potentially cause brain damage in severe cases.

Because of this, we elected for Blake to have surgery. Read about his story and see his recovery.
