Indigo J was born at 5.09pm GMT on New Year's Day 2005. He weighs 7lb 9oz and smells of baby. He has dark hair, which we believe will get lighter. He has large blue eyes, which we believe will get less blue. He has a neck which is fairly useless at the moment, but we suspect that it will develop a purpose later on (actually, now that I write that, he does seem to be quite proficient in moving it about). He has a beautiful Kittenhead Hat knitted by the legendary Tazja Lovecraft (though he doesn't know this yet).
Both mother and baby are doing well (though just wait until the cats find out…)
Posted by nikn | TrackBackCongratulations! I hope everything came out all right… although it definitely seems to have :)
The cats will find out one way or another, but at least he smells of baby and not of tuna fish or something similarly cat-snacky.
You do realize that it's rather a bit of a transition from “Chubs” to “Indigo J”, may take people a while to adjust.
I am so glad that everything went well!!
You could kind of stretch it and pretend that Indigo's hat is of the same colour, but it's really more of a plum. Ah well, I Guessed that Alpaca would work, anyway :)
All our best to Tosha and Indigo, and obviously to you as well!

I'm so pleased. Congratulations!
'Nough said.
I'm glad to see that Inidgo is honoured with a nod to his father's middle name. ;-)
