GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH SILAS FOX

Silas Fox, 4 days old

Our new grandson’s given name is “Silas Fox.”

“Why is his middle name 'Fox,'" I asked. “Is it a family name on Nick’s side?”

No, Nick and Hallie explained, they just like it. And they like foxes. Maybe it’s even a theme in their kitchen. And “Fox” appears on the list of name suggestions, they said, but they decided not to use it as a first name.

Hallie had planned that I would come to visit them soon after Silas was born, so on Thursday (10-14-21), I flew to Seattle. Silas was a rather unhappy camper that first afternoon and evening. Then he and his mom turned a corner in his care, and he began to sleep and also enjoy some quiet awake time. He’s a very good baby -- today anyway.

Not much to report right now. KW
