Hope you find the patience and endurance to become a daddy. My advice at this stage is give your wife a lot of attention and the baby a binky. You can always loose the binky but if they find that thumb it's hard to break.

congratulation again to you and mom

Congratulations to both of you (or should I say to all three). He is a handsome baby.

I enjoyed my time with my children while they were children and I enjoy what little time I get now that they are adults. Unfortunately, they do grow up. Children are sources of great joy. They are also sources of tremendous anxiety. Stay active with your children. Do things with them. Coach Soccer even if you don't like it. Become a Cub Scout leader and then Boy Scout leader. Think up creative ways to keep him in Scouts when "It's not cool." Keep a sense of humor, you're going to need it.

Do as much for your wife as you can. If she works outside of the home, it is a tremendous strain to work and try to me a mom. She will worry a lot about her children when they are in day care. If she doesn't work outside of the home, it is difficult to keep a house and take care of children. Much harder than what I do every day.

You are in for a wonderful and challenging journey.

By the way, that's a great looking kid.

Glad to hear all are doing well.

I agree with Chad--skip the pacifier, skip the thumb & go straight to the regulator. When he gets in school get him a back pack that looks like a BC( your choice as to jacket, back inflate or PB/wings)

Of course he should already be wearing fins

Again congratulations and tell Mom we are thinking of her too.
