Very well done.
Looks like he got his mother's hair. 
Congrats on the blessed event.

That's awesome. Congrats to you and the Mrs. My oldest just celebrated his 6th birthday yesterday, boy how time flies. I may be the oddball, but I think being a parent is just about the coolest thing I'll ever have the chance to do in my life. .

Congrats on the new baby! We had our second four months ago after a 5 year break. I forgot about how little sleep a baby allows....

Congrats - Dad!
Take lots of pictures while he's growing up - they do that so damned fast. Glad to hear mom's doing well.
Here's a hint for you...when he get's restless at 0 Dark early and mama can't get him to go down, try rocking him by laying him face down on your forearm, his head at your elbow, his arms and legs hanging down. A gentle rocking motion will put him down in a matter of minutes. Trust me - after my (now ex) wife came back into the bedroom after a solid hour of rocking in a rocker and said "He's your son - do something with him!", I did the deed and was back in bed within 10 minutes. My wife just couldn't believe it. It do work!
