Default I'm a Dad!

Showing off my baby boy, Ben. Our first, and the wife and I couldn't be happier!
Born 7/31/13.
7lbs 3oz.


Few days later, offered him a rib, and he tore it up:

Giving his mama a hi-five:


I hope I don't jynx myself, but he's got to be the calmest baby ever. So patient while we learn everything to help him. Even all the nurses and his pediatrician commented on how "chill" he is.

Congrats! Kids are AMAZING gifts!!!!

cambirdracing is 100% correct. Keep them close to your heart, they grow up fast and help you realize how true it is when someone says "life is too short".

One day you will look back and ask yourself "Where did the time go?"

When does the car go up for sale?
