What Is He Going to Look Like?

Christine and I have been trying to figure out what our boy is going to look like. That's a tough one. We are not going to win one of those husband and wife look alike contests anytime soon.

"thump thump thump thump thWHAM thump thuBAM thump thump POW ZOK KABAAM"

Resulting, we are considering naming him "Chuck Norris Tyler" or maybe "Jack Bauer Tyler." I hope to update this at least once per decade from here on out. So please, check back regularly.
