AWWWWWWWWW She's cute. Congratulations Dad.

[Dan D]

From Dan to Dan: Congratulations and all the best for your family. 1+1=3.
I have 2 daughters, 7 and 11 of age. So you are one kid behind. Kid one was born 21.10.

[AVGWarhawk]

Congratulations to the family now consisting of 3! You now enter a new chapter in your lives. No sleep. Soiled undergarment changing. New language that is somewhere between gurgling and Klingon. Everyday those little eyes will look into yours expecting all the answers. It will take a lifetime to answer them all. Good luck and God bless as you embark into fatherhood and motherhood. :yeah:

[kiwi_2005]

Gratz Dan :yeah:

[Lord Justice]

I am much pleased for you Dan, and wish good health and good future to ba ba. :salute:

[Platapus]

Just remember that no matter how cute they look now, a baby is just a future teenager. Welcome to hell. :O:

Children are some of life's most precious treasures....

As such they should be kept buried deep in underground vaults.

:D

Read your bible. What was god's ultimate punishment for the sins of Adam and Eve? They had children.

:D:D

To prepare yourself for fatherhood, go to the local chemist, tip the contents of your wallet onto the counter and tell the pharmacist to help himself. Then go to the supermarket. Arrange to have your paycheck paid directly to their office. Go home. Pick up the newspaper and read it for the last time in peace.

:D:D:D

Here is how you practice feeding your baby.

1. Hollow out a melon

2. Make a small hole in the side of the melon and suspend the melon from the ceiling. Make it swing side to side

3. Get a bowl of soggy cornflakes and attempt to spoon them into the swaying melon while pretending to be an airplane.

4. Continue until half the cornflakes are gone

5. Tip the rest in your lap, making sure that a lot of it falls on the floor

6. Once you can do this, you are ready to feed your baby.

:D:D:D:D

[CaptainHaplo]

Congrats!

You used to lose sleep worrying about development problems and got paid money for it.

Now you will lose sleep about an ungodly number of things, but there will be times when the reward is worth more than you feel your heart can hold.

May you, your wife and daughter be safe, healthy and enjoy the years to come. Be blessed.

[Chad]

Congrats Dan :yeah:

[gimpy117]

congrats man! :up:

Congratulations. It's life-changing. It's also hard and easy at the same time. Enjoy it.

[elanaiba]

Thanks for all the wishes - I just got back to work after 3 weeks of guarding the baby :)

Its fun and scary at the same time. Apparently the girl took a lot from me, being blonde and ... not sleeping very much. According to my mother, I cried all the way from 0 to 3 months, and it shows in my daughter.

Fun times!

Thank you all, here are more photos of our pretty lady:

Dan

[limkol]

Hi Dan,

Got 2 kids myself. Girl (10) boy (5). They bring out a part of you that you didn't know you had. You feel like murdering them when they argue or drive you crazy with their toys (or Justin Bieber music,urggghhhh), but at the same time you would walk through fire for them.

All the very best of luck for the future, Dan.:up:

[Reece]

Beautiful girl Dan, you and your wife must be very proud and happy, again congratulations!:up:

[Jimbuna]

Very pretty Dan....and reading already :03:

[frau kaleun]

Apparently the girl took a lot from me, being blonde and ... not sleeping very much. According to my mother, I cried all the way from 0 to 3 months, and it shows in my daughter.

This is what is known in grandparenting circles as "sweet, sweet karma." :D

OM NOM NOM NOM she is adorable!

[soopaman2]

I guess that means he will have less time to work on great sims for us.:03:

I am so kidding! Family first! (please don't flog me)

Congrats, and wait until the terrible twos, which sometimes lasts until the "Fives". If you can get through those 3 years, then you are a father god!:D

It is a truly happy time really. Good luck to you and your family. The miracle of life is quite awe inspiring when you see it firsthand.:)

[Montray]

My condolences

[August]

Congratulations! :salute:

Just in case any of you were still interested in the evolution of my little lady (soon to be 2 months old), a friendly motivational picture from her:

So far I don't know what she's militating for, but she has all my support!

Such a cute little baby.
Congrats Dan !

[Sailor Steve]

I thought when you left Ubisoft they took her back! :O:

She is cute though...almost as cute as my granddaughter. :O: :O:

[Madox58]

I thought when you left Ubisoft they took her back! :O:



I thnk that's what she is saying?
"Hell no I ain't going back to UbiSoft!"
:haha:

Regards Dan and Mom!
Good to see she gets her good looks from Mom.
:03:

[TarJak]

Great shots Dan, thanks for sharing.:yeah:

[Sailor Steve]

I thnk that's what she is saying?
"Hell no I ain't going back to UbiSoft!"
I thought it was something like "Right on, Dad! You da man! Stick it to 'em!" :D

[frau kaleun]

Look at those eyes! Are you beating the little boys off with a stick yet? You might want to start stockpiling sticks, I'm just sayin'. She's adorable.

[Reece]

She is a little darling, though I think she takes after her mum Dan!;)
Have a Happy Christmas!:yep:

[1480]

Merry Christmas, you and your lady got your present early! :salute:

[elanaiba]

I ain't chasing little boys out yet, but I have the bow and arrows within reach, be sure :)

As for the looks, she evidently takes after her mom or MY mom; Which is for the better, of course ;) The colors are all mine, though - my significant other is a brunette.

Happy Christmas to you all too!

[Jimbuna]

She's a beuty Dan :sunny:

I bet that was a strain!:O:

[Sailor Steve]

I bet that was a strain!:O:
Not really...he has pictures. :sunny:

[geetrue]

A little heart breaker in the making ...

Keep her warm, wash her little fingers, tickle her on her foot, comb her hair and always remember that little girls like to be called pretty.


Thank you for the picture
I'll hang it on the wall

I'll always remember that smile
as I love you in the hall

Time will have it's say and wrinkles
may come our way

Aren't you glad we froze time awhile

But otherwise, she's a delight that brightens my days and my life :)

She's driving... us crazy allright ... by generally refusing to go to sleep earlier than midnight :)

Dan, she just has to many great expressions that I could not resist. I hope you don't mind.

Kids start getting into Christmas around year 3 - so you probably have one more year of "little interest" to go.

Don't worry - after she "gets" that there are toys in those pretty boxes, its on!

[Jimbuna]

Well she's certainly got that pretty face from her mother :03:

She's a real beauty Dan...all the very best to you and yours my friend :sunny:

Cute, but keep in mind that this is just an angst-ridden teenage girl in larval stage. :D

The Frau has a 6 month granddaughter. All I can think about is when she turns into a teenager. :o:o:o

Enjoy the good years now......<cue dramatic music>.. while they last.
