Wot they all said! Funny how he looks so much like his Dad already!

Congrats, your life will never be the same again! My kids are now 32, 28, and 23, both daughters married and we have one 2 yr old Grandson!

Time flies so fast, make sure you have max. fun with him every day!

All the best!
Ed.

wise words, as a father of seven the best advice I can offer is cherish every minute of every day.It seems ridiculous but it goes in a flash.One minute stinky nappies but the next time you look their getting married. I'd give anything to have some of those times back, you've got them to come. Enjoy and marvel at the best show on earth, a squidgy mess turning into a real person right in front of your eyes, amazing,don't miss it, your a lucky man. :wari: :wari: :2thumbsup

Yay for you all Mr and Mrs Cheese.

Loved looking at the pics - thanks for sharing..took me back 4 years...they really change heaps in the first weeks - take heaps of photos - you'll be amazed...though he isn't all cone headed and weird looking like they can when they come out of....

ooo I have said too much :chase:

I'd give anything to have some of those times back, you've got them to come. Enjoy and marvel at the best show on earth[...]martybabe speaks the truth. Watch him become something special every day. Every week a new and delightful, and very surprising thing will happen - well, every two weeks anyway, so don't miss them!

Read to him every day.

Want the best for him right now - his self-esteem, his future, and set to work making it happen.. slowly but surely in the background.

Never do anything that will make him not be your best friend.

Be ready to be his favourite person - this might be more than you bargained for.

How he and mum feels is more important than the solution to the problem.

You don't have to sell your bike !

Hey I got these over gloves from http://www.rain-off.com/ and they are brilliant. They even keep the hands warmer, summer gloves and no heated grips inside these babies.

Good advice gman but I think your lost. :apint:

Yeah trying to remember what a full nights sleep was like right now....... Work want me to come back as we are flat out and I just want to stay here and look after mum and bubs. Hard life huh.

So far taken around 400 photos!! LOL got to love digital cameras!!!

He is now 1 week old and is a happy little chap. all he wants to do is eat!!

Makes me feel tearful and I don't even know you! Congrats. :) The pics you posted are amazing. Whoever said that babies can't see/focus for the first week? Baby Jack is looking right at you in pic 12/17. Alert little boy you have there, will have to watch out for him I'm sure! :clap:
