Study: Circumcision reduces risk of HIV

Prior to Baby G being born, Momma J and I had the great circumcision debate.  In the end we decided not to inflict the little guy with any unnecessary pain.

During our discussions I mentioned these studies, but they were in their preliminary phases. I felt the only reason to do it, would be to give the little guy protection against disease or infection, and it seems to have some merit now.

I don’t think this study will change our minds, as the older he gets the more painful the operation would be. It’s just an example of one of many millions of things we will be confronted while the little guy is living under our roof.

As he grows older, we hope to teach him to be responsible about sex, so such things shouldn’t be a worry. Nevertheless, you always want to do everything in your power to protect your children from disease or ill health.

Christmas photos

In the great tradition of showing and sending too many photos of a first child, we’ve been on a bit of a tear. Here are a few of the Christmas photos we had done by the photographer that shot the ad I posted a little while back.

Who doesn’t love animated cats?

The whole pet craze thing baffles me a little. But you have to love people’s williningness to share their creative genius with the world.
