Welcome Ollie Kottke

Ollie Kottke

Introducing Ollie Peter Kottke! Our son was born on July 3rd, all 7 lbs, 2 oz. and 20 inches of him. As you can see from the photo, we've both been resting a lot ever since. Things will be slow around here for a while as I settle in with my newest favorite fella. I can't tell you how cute he is, especially when he starts to cry and his bottom lip quivers and he makes this "whuh whuh whuh" sound. All of the sudden, nothing in the whole world seems as exciting as watching Ollie as he sleeps. Restaurants? Farmers markets? Food? Blogs? The web? The entire outside world? Nope, not as wonderful as our new little boy.

  1. Congratulations! He’s absolutely beautiful. I suspect there will be a lot of food delivery in your future.

  5. If you guys keep springing things like this on your internet audience, I’m going to heave a heart attack. Happy day! Welcome, Ollie!

  13. Congratulations! Our own son was born on April 21st, similar size and length, and we love him to pieces.

  14. hooray! anyone born on july 3rd is a good nut (it’s my birthday, too) — congratulations!

  18. Make sure you feed him some foie gras soon, while you can!
    And congratulations!

  21. Oh my god! I had no idea. Congratulations!! Enjoy your time off this summer 🙂

  22. So very happy for you all! Congratulations Meg & Jason and welcome to you little Ollie.
    Hey gang, let’s have a party for Ollie every year. We can do it on July 4th instead so it doesn’t interfere with his birthday. Sound good? 🙂

  30. That explains the lack of “running the next marathon” talk… Congratulations!

  34. Congratulations! Excellent name. Jason says he’s gonna take two months off. It’s not enough, trust me. Our son was born April 6 (7-11, 19.5″) and my wife just returned to work after 12 weeks. Just when he’s getting more interactive, you get to spend less time with him.
    Take more time off, it’s worth it for you, Jason, & Ollie.

  35. Beautiful, wonderful, magical, exciting, sweet, joyous… isn’t it amazing how in the midst of all the horrible things in the world, one small baby shocks us out of it and reminds us of miracles and happiness and a bright future. Congratulations!

  37. Congratulations to all three of you. Wishing you all the best during these wonderful, amazing early days, and all the ones to come.

  40. Congratulations to you and Jason. You two are going to make wonderful parents.

  42. Huge congratulations! We just had our first (a son, too) on June 1st, so we have a pretty good idea of what the three of you are about to go through. It’s amazing, exhausting, life-changing, and so totally worth it.
    Huzzah!

  44. What wonderful news! Congrats to you and to Jason and a hearty “Hello!” to Ollie. Tell him that I know from experience that July 3 is the best of all the birthdays.

  45. Congratulations, and enjoy your time getting to know Baby Ollie. That first week after my daughter was born was easily some of the happiest time in my marriage, and my life. And if you’re nursing, your love of delicious food will come right back, and hard.

  46. Congrats to you all!! Wonderful to hear of another Kottke in the world, particularly with such erudite parents as Jason and Meg. May Ollie grow to love Kotletki 😉
