Kolya Nathaniel Segura - The Pictures

My brand new nephew, Kolya, and his proud parents are, as it turns out, rather photogenic. Here's a look at the first couple of days of the cub.



It's late morning on the 2nd May 2008, and Kolya has just been very busy being born. Here he is getting his first non-aquatic snuggle with his rather heroic mum.

My friend Christian described this photo as "the one where he looks like a little blue fajita". Kolya on his first day in the world, having a very well-earned nap in his "snuggle nest", wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Day 2 - chilling in his daddy's arms.
