My son wearing "his" watch

Hi everyone,
I experienced the joy of becoming a father a few days ago, and besides the lack of sleep it has been wonderful! I have further realized that I married an amazing woman who is a natural at being a mom. To say that I feel lucky is an understatement.
I had some down time with my son yesterday, and he wanted to try on "his" watch. I think he needs to grow into it a bit, but I will take good care of "his" watch until he is ready to wear it. I think it looks good on him!

Oh man! Congratulations! My son is now about 15 months old, and it honestly is more fun every day. I also had a similar revelation about my wife. Have fun!

I can't tell you how happy I was when my son was born. There just aren't words to describe it. He is the most amazing thing I have done in my life.

At the risk of sounding like an old fart, WOW he's grown! What's the secret to keeping the socks on; duck tape or superglue?

Congratulations to you and your missus on your son. Before you know it, sleep deprivation will be a distant memory but what won't be distant will be ALL THE PROUD AND HAPPY MEMORIES.

I think you started a baby thread of future WISs!!
Blessings,
DM

Congrats to the hard working parents out there.....we really won't get the credit we deserve until they grow up and become parents themselves. Meanwhile, gotta enjoy them while we have them.
