Yesterday was the best day of my life. My son Hunter was born coming in at 6lb 14oz. Both my wife and son are doing great. Im 41 I held out for a long time. Better late than never. Im very lucky to have such an incredible wife. Looking forward to the years to come. Hunter is already a member of the NRA and he was dressed in a cool camp outfit from Browning. If Im lucky we will share some of the same interests.

I'm 48 and my two boys just turned 8 months. You are in for a life-changing but absolutely awesome time. Enjoy the early days...they really do grow up too fast.

Re: Im finally a father!!!

Congrats, man! I'm in my late 30s with a very lively 2-year-old, which gives me a great excuse to play with Matchbox cars and Tonka trucks again.

As far as your son's desire to share your interests, it's amazing how much boys tend to want to be like dad. If I'm doing something, my son needs to be right there "helping":

Re: Im finally a father!!!

Congrats, my son is 3-1/2 now. I figure around 4 or 5, he will be ready to take the .22 out. But, they grow way too fast. They grow quick so enjoy it. Speaking of which, I wanted to get him a set of ACUs, but I gotta get em big cause he will shoot right out of them.
 
My boy is 5 months old today. Damn he is a cutie can't be mine. Can't wait to take him out camping,shooting ect. Seem to be building more guns than shooting but its all good. This summer will be alot of fun. <a href="http://s354.photobucket.com/user/bhoges17/media/DSCN2768_zpsce0c713b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r418/bhoges17/DSCN2768_zpsce0c713b.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSCN2768_zpsce0c713b.jpg"/></a>
 
Congrats man!!! I have three and one on the way. My eldest two (girls) live with their mom in VA and my son is 14 months with his younger brother coming ANY DAY!! We were actually in the hospital Saturday thinking it was time but he's a stubborn boy. Like his mom. :D

Here he is at one, finally grinning:

Can't wait to see more pics of your boy as he grows! They're so much fun!!
 
Congrats!

Best advice I ever got as a new dad: give him lots of tummy time, every day. They will get strong in a hurry, even though they seem to struggle at first.
 
Congrats! They grow up fast. My newest is almost five months old. I hope you were able to cherish your sleep before the kid, because you won't get much for a while.
