It's A Boy, Mrs. Walker, It's A Boy!

It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy,

A son! A son! A son! ("It's A Boy", Tommy, 1969)

and he's absolutely beautiful! William Thomas Henry Taylor entered the world at 8:52 a.m. on Friday morning, September 3, 2004. 20 inches long and weighing in at 7 lbs 1 oz., he's amazing. Birth story and hospital tales to come. Until then, let's raise our glasses, make a toast to good Will Taylor, and drink to a long life, happiness, and good health.


"Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)" John Lennon (1980)

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling
darling WILL!!!
