Ellie Corinne Caldecott, Born 25th February 2004[^] Ellie and Me, August 2006 (not my best face!)[^] :) I only gush about my daughter to colleaugues if they are also parents, as there is nothing more boring to a childless person than someone banging on about how wonderful their kids are! ;) he he. And yeh, being a Dad is bloody fantastic. I would do anything for my little girl. :rose:

Yeah, but I find it so easy to fall into that "gushing parent" mode... :sigh:

Not yet, but if all goes well, then I will be a new father around St. Patty's Day, 2007. :)

In my defence, most people agree with my that my son is pretty special. Yours looks like a cool little guy, tho. I have a 10 year old girl in the house now. It's no longer ALWAYS great to be a parent. But, on aggregate, it's still good.

Just came across Chris Austin's thread below[^] and wondered how many proud, new* parents are there out there on CP? My team leader commented that "you're such a new dad, Jon" the other day, as she found me idly watching my Slickr screen saver[^] serve up photos of my boy for me. (This[^] is probably one of my faves...) Anyone else been caught admiring photos of their kids at work? Anyone else just think their kids are the bees knees? Anyone else think it is so great to be a parent? Or is it just me...? Cheers, Jon *subjective: my boy is two years old, but I still consider myself to be a "new" dad.

They are my herd and I think they are the coolest thing... Kids are awesome. Grant and I sat and watched Google videos of military planes all night it was a blast. Then I went upstairs and started the pillow fight of a 1000 generations with all 3 of them. I'm a tyrant and they love it.

Very cool. When Sarah heard she laughed to herself and said, surley not...

Hi Jon, My son is 16 months old and I completely understand where you're coming from. I remember having a chat with Paul Watson before Mikey was born on how it's a shame that people change after having kids - well, just goes to show how little I understood of the love one has for one's kids! Mikey is the light of my life, and when he comes running up to me with that huge grin and his arms outstretched for a cuddle I know he feels the same way about his mum. What greater joy or satisfaction could there be in life than knowing you've just spent a whole day with a wonderful, new little person and have helped shape their world? Your son is beautiful, what a grin! Easy to see you are enjoying being a dad from that shot :cool: Just to continue the thread of course ( :-O )this[^] is one of my (many :rolleyes: ) fav's of Mikey
A mum and loving it! My (very young) blog[^]
Hi Megan, Yes, it is weird how people change once becomming parents. We were one of the first couple in our social group that had a baby, and a lot of people really couldn't understand how things had changed for us. I'd get a call on a Friday afternoon, "d'you wanna come out for a pint, Jon?" or "d'you wanna go 'boarding tomorrow?" and I'd have to say, "Yeees, but I can't, I got responsibilities now and I need to plan things in advance now..." I'm sure a lot of my friends saw it as a terrible change in me! I love it when Isaac turns to me and exclaims, "Ididdit! Ididdit!" (when he's put toothpaste on his brush, or...) and I really love it when he, unprompted (I swear), sleepily mumbles, "I luss you..." when I go to tuck him up. OK, Jon, stop gushing... Great photos of Mikey, but then you've always had good photos... Jon

Hey, cool. My son certainly lives up to his name of Isaac. Jon

Most of the time they are! Actually I'd have to say they are pretty much always a good time.

Grant->Katie->Paige Grant is 6, Katie will be 5 on December 21st and Paige is 19 months old. Paige is currently my favorite thing on this earth. Grant and Katie are my second most favorite things on this earth but Paige positively thinks I'm the coolest. She flips out whenever she sees me come home or whenever she comes home she toddles around trying to find me. I pretty much flip out when I see her so it's a good thing. Grant and Katie have entered into the "we're cool" now phase so I'm still their top dawg but they have their own moments now. It's all fun. Tonight I declared open war and inspired a lot of carnage with a good pillow fight. I pasted my oldest two frequently to squeels of delight. My youngest I'd just gently sandwich her between two and she loved it. She'd try to run off screaming in glee and pretty much fall over giggling. Kids! I'm glad I'm so much more grown up than they are. It will be sad when they mature as I'm not sure I ever will...:sigh::-D

Wow.. what an affectionate father. ! You know I love my Dad too. He's very cool but he never plays with us. Though he never plays with us, he has never said "No" for anything good we ask. But the pillow fights! I missed it a lot :).. Your kids are really cute Rex. My love and regards to them. I'm a good cartoonist :-D I wish someday I could send them some real cool cartoons made. I love kids very much. :cool:

Without a doubt, as annoying as it was hearing about kids from new parents, I don't see how all the parents I've known were as restrained as they were. Luke is just the best thing in the world to me. Yours looks like a little handful, I bet he's a lot of fun.

I'm with you man, got a 7 month old son. Currently he's my desktop, but he's got his own blog - PTrane's Blog

That's a shame...
not really, when it comes to children, I'm a statistical freak. My wife hasn't been to a baby shower in years. The last one went something like this: Unknown mother: "Oh, I see you're expecting! How wonderful! Is this your first or second?" Wife: "No, this is my ninth..." Unknown mother: "I beg your pardon. Did you say nine?!" Wife: "yes, nine." The party is now deathly quiet. All of the commenting about how hard it is to keep up with a single 2 year old has faded away...... :)

I've been a proud new* dad for 6 years now. I've even been accused of having a "shrine" to admire my kids. Is 5 picture frames for 3 girls and their mother too many? :~ Good Weekend, All.
