Thank you MG. Yes, I have a baby girl. She celebrated one month on Saturday and I celebrated 41 years on the same day. As I have told my wife, I am out of the baby making business FOREVER, as [b]I am WAY too freakin' old for this[/b]

John,
I can tell you as the father of 2 extraordinary young women that the road ahead for you is going to be... well..... let's just say the old adage, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!" is never going to be more relevant!My oldest is almost 21 and her nemesis and sworn rival, my youngest is 17 1/2. There were times I was positive I would one day end up in jail for killing one or both of them for the aggravation and aneurisms they invoked!

As they grew up and I watched them applying the life lessons and morals my wife and I had instilled in them I realized we could have had it much worse. MUCH WORSE!

Lead 'em, love 'em and then let them use the tools you're giving them to become who they are going to be. Odds are she's going to make you the proudest dad alive. One thing is absolutely certain: the next 18 years are going to go by faster than you can begin to imagine!

Thank you for the sentiment Steve. If I'm being honest, I've never had any desire to raise a girl. I have three older sisters, and growing up with a collection of sisters was enough to traumatize me for lifeI've only been a daddy to a little boy for the past 5 years, so I have a whole lot to learn!

Good call MG. She actually looks exactly like her brother. Sadly for her, that means she looks like her daddyHere is my boy with his freshly picked flowers for his mommy out of our garden. They are definitely related to each other. Thank you for the kind words.
