| BABY BOY DRAKE! |
Everyone was expecting a girl...whoops. Hopefully this isn't a trend in the kid's life! :) They had better give him an extra masculine name! Which brings me to the next point: because everybody was expecting a girl, the little guy does not currently have a name.
It's sort of interesting to look at a face and know it has NO name. I mean, we've all looked at people we don't know and tried to guess their names...you've done that, right? :) Some of us often have to guess people's names even if we do know them...But either way, we figure that they probably do have names. Likewise, in anticipation of a newborn baby...or random college roommate, most of our imaginations have conjured up faces to go with the names of people we have yet to meet. But to see a face and know it has no name...It's strange. Like reading a beautiful novel that has no title. How much of a person's identity is wrapped up in his or her name?
(Really, though, this child does have a name. He is Baby Boy Drake, which identifies his family and gives him a place he belongs. But I'm still looking forward to attaching a more specific label to the owner of those chubby little cheeks.)
