Prince of Stones: “Watch Out, Mr. Felix!”

by Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. | ©2012 IronMind

Travis and Lucy Ortmayer teamed up to give the world Mikhail Ryan Ortmayer last week - weighing in at “8 pounds even,” Dione Wessels had told IronMind®, and the hands on this young guy are sending out a clear message: “Watch out, Mr. Felix!”

“It is a giant mix of emotions: happiness, terror, joy, shock, and everything else in between!,” the proud father told IronMind®.

“The baby is named after one of my best friends, Misha [Mikhail Koklyaev].  Hopefully little Mikhail Ryan Ortmayer can live up to, and surpass, both his father and his namesake . . . He has the freaking hands to do it though.  I've never seen such big hands on a newborn!,” said Travis.

Forget the baby rattle: with his hands, get Mikhail a Rolling Thunder and let the race begin.
