Pounds and incheseses.

Nice looking lad. How's Mom doing? It's
Mother's Day over here. Pretty convenient, eh?

Wonderful,

You'll have to bring him to the states for some hunting when he turns 12.

No sense in holding him back until he is 17 or whatever the German rules are.

Oh cute! He needs some camoflage jammies though.

Fine lookin' youngster there! Congrats!

Get ready for your highest highs and lowest lows.

Thanks for the congratulations!
At the moment, there´re many "good" days. Thanks good!
He sleeps a lot, unfortunately, usually during the day. On the evening rather not.

Yes, I´m also.

Hmmm.....I will not think about something like this. If the political situation evolved so on, I´m thinking, it is in 5 or 10 years be no more legal gun ownership in Germany.
I was 13 or 14 years old, I was shooting with dads Win M94 chambered for the .44Magnum. Or have had practice with his FR-8 carbine. I shot a lot of MEN 7,62mm Army ammo in this days. My first "big bore" I shot , was a Heym Magnum in .416 Rigby. I mean, I was 14 or 15 years old.
Today, it would be criminal, to do this, with you daughter or son.

And if my wife sometimes do not pay attention, I will buy such a camoflage suit.

Martin

PS: At Thursday, it´s "father´s-day".

We have a 7 month old daughter, and she sleeps through the night. But she didn't figure out how to sleep through the night until she was 2 months old.

I am not sure what the German word is for it, but she gets "swaddled" tightly for the first 3 or 4 months.

Now she sleeps in a bag type thing and her arms are out.

It is supposed to be very important that there are no blankets in the crib. As they often cause crib death.

I will try and find the links for the bags that my wife uses.

Here you go. We used this from the time she was about a month old. Before then she was too small for it to work correctly.

2 weeks ago she started in a different one that has arm holes.

It is Winter time here in Australia right now. So the one with arm holes is very heavily padded. And she where's pajamas with it.

Can't hardly remember my kids being that young.

My son is getting married on Saturday.

We are lookoing forward to grand children

Congratulations, Martin, on your 6 pound 10 oz and 20 inch son!

I'll bet he's bigger already!

Sie sind selig.

Alles, was von Gott geboren,
Ist zum Siegen auserkoren.

You mean like so:


But he don´t like it really much.
Your "Swaddle" is interesting. I will show it my wife.

Today, my wife was with him by the doctor. It´s all OK, he can more, as he should, with 5 weeks. With 21 1/4 inch and 9 pounds.

Martin

He won't like it for a while, then he'll love it. We don't use the old swaddles very often, but when we do she has a huge smile on her face.

Congratulations! A wonderful journey has begun.

21 1/4 inch and 9 pounds already !?!

Wunderbar!

Whatever you're feeding him is working well.

Ich denke, es schmeckt gut.

Martin,

Thought I would bump this to the top and wonder if he is sleeping through the night yet?

Martin
A fine looking young fellow.
What name have you chosen for him.
Has he started submitting college applications yet. No sense dottling.

Jim

Congratulations My Friend.I remember the birth of all of my sons;each instrumental in it's rite.But the birth of the first is the most moving.Blessings to all of you.

Hi friends!
Sorry for my late reply, but the time, the time.
First, "Yes"! He´s sleeping throught the night. From ~8 o´clock PM to 6-7 o´clock in the morning, he sleeps very deep. And every night.
Oh, and the name was really clear from the beginning. A girl "Lisa" and a boy, "Max".

And this, I do not really understand. My "English", sorry.
But when Max, is the same "light", like his father, then it will be nothing with a college.

Here´s a new pic (3 months, 13,5 pounds):

Martin, my sincere congratulations, sir. I remember the birth of my son, now 27. He was six minutes on the heels of his twin sister: our third daughter. I looked at his mother and said "That's it, Baby. All my boys were girls."

Then he arrived, and I cried...

To you and he, sir:
