Welcome
|
|
Welcome to the information page about the new little guy. I am
Charlie Zimmerman, the uncle of the newborn, and I have setup this
web site to post pictures and information about the child.

The Numbers
The baby was born on 11/28/2000 at 5:11 PM.
The weight of 9 pounds 0 oz. and a length of 22 inches was
recorded. It was a delivery by c-section, but I don't have
exact details on the when/how/why of that so when the Dad
gets up some sleep and emails me what he'd like here you'll
know more.

Name Explanation
I guess explaining as best I can what all of the different parts of the name signify.
So, here's a chart that I hope helps!
|
Azzurro
|
Italian word for light blue (Bret's favorite color is blue).
|
|
Thomas
|
Bret's middle name. Bret's father's first name. Bret's Grandfather's name
(Actually his grandfather's middle name).
|
|
Irie
|
Jamaican word for happy or feeling good. The parent's honeymoon was in Jamaica.
|
|
Dragon
|
The year of birth (2000) is the year of the
Golden Dragon
on the Chinese
calendar. According to Chinese tradition it is thought that the year
of the dragon is the best year to have a male child.
|
|
Bumble
|
The parents chose "Bumble" as a gender-neutral name to refer to the
baby as a fetus.
It was chosen based on the movie
Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer.
As Yukon Cornelius said in the cartoon, "Everyone knows, Bumbles bounce!"
Apparently the name stuck and has found a home
into the full name of the child.

|

Pictures
I divided the baby pictures into categories of the people/places/things that are
also in the shot. This is easy to screw up so forgive me, ok? As more and more pictures
flood in I occasionally divide up the divisions to make it easier for the people with the
slow connectsion out there.
