Latest chapter in my life...

riles9262 · Feb 27, 2008, 03:14 AM

Good day guys, it's been a while since I was last active around the forums. But...things around my house have been really busy of late. My wife and I just welcomed home our first child, Aiden. Things are falling into place nicely; the changes definitely took some time to get used to! We wouldn't have it any other way though. He's great, and though I was nervous before the birth, having a kid just feels natural.

Anyway, here's a few pics of him and his old man

I'll hopefully be around dh a little more often now; I've missed the place.

Congratulations and oh my what a beautiful baby!

My God man, he's beautiful. Amazing something like that could come from a mug like you

(one could say the same for me, I suppose)

Really though, that's just great. Your children are easily the most important thing you can do in your life. Enjoy it man, it flies by.

HEHEHE thanks a lot guys, he is definitely beautiful. Everyone says he looks like me too, and I can't help but beam

However, after looking at me, he can only go downhill from here

Excellent pics...fatherhood is a breeze right about now, wait till they get older.
I would post pics of my grandson but the little guy has more hair than me..

Gracias amigos, all of us are settling in quite nicely. The little guy has been quite cranky today though, but after a handfull of farts he's back to normal

Now I need a couple aspirins for my headache...
