How Much Did New Arrival Ian Weigh?

[ZapperZ]

What to say...

No matter what happens in the near future, when Ian is about 3 months old and starts to smile, it will be worth all of the lack of sleep that you are about to endure. Hearty congratulations.

And then, when he starts going through his teenage years, you'll go back to wondering if it was all worth it.

:)

Congratulations, dad! My kid is 20 months old, and I can tell you, every moment is worth it!

Who do you suspect?

er, , I mean... Congratulations.

Of course you know... as soon as he can hold a screwdriver he'll start disassembling everything in your house to see how it works.

Screwdriver? You must have been restrained as a child.

Me and Fred used a hammer to inspect things as kids!

I guess that's why I can't be a real engineer; I always sort of had the intention of putting the things back together.

Congrats Fred! What an adorable son! We expect he'll be a regular PFer as soon as his little fingers can reach the keyboard from your lap.

My little man is doing great. He came home yesterday and is getting used to his new, palatial digs. I forgot the one little perk we have going for us...Ian is the first grandchild on both sides of the family :-)

I am wondering where to start on his bedtime readings. Should I go with Gas Turbine Theory or Fundamentals of Machine Design? The machine design book has better pictures.

BTW...his going home outfit had a big airplane on it.

I also need to figure out what his PF registered name will be.

Then you must resign to the fate that he will be spoiled every chance they get! :)

Oh, I found a Disney pin just for you!

Congratulation Fred!

Maybe you should start him on Whitehead and Russell's Principia so that he can understand everything from the bottom up!

Regards,
George

Register him immediately on 'How Stuff Works'. The animated illustrations will keep him fascinated until he can read. Once his hands start to work, load him up with every possible Lego, Tinkertoy and Mechano set. No soldering equipment until he's at least 5 (I learned that the hard way).

Oh yeah... teach him early on the difference between real and robotic pets. Dogs and pliers don't get along as well as one might expect.

Awwwww... What a SWEET little bundle of softness and wonderful smells. I just want to snuggle him. Congratulations!

UPDATE: The little guy gave us a gift of 4 hours of sleep last night! Wooo!

Thanks again everyone!
