@Jenndye429

Thanks so much for your kind words and congratulations, Jenn! :blue_heart: Hopefully, he will share the love for music with me some day. It would be great to have a (very little) jam buddy. :grin:

@philsmith

Thanks so much for your congratulations, Phil! :smiley:

@Eddie_09

Thanks so much for your kind words and congratulations, Eddie! :smiley: I bet, no one who ever heard that sound will ever forget it. :slight_smile:

@Mari63

Thanks so much for your congratulations and kind words, Mari! :smiley: We’re enjoying every second with the little boy (and every minute of sleep :rofl:).

@Coda

Thanks so much for your kind words and good wishes, Tomasz! :smiley: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@TheMadman_tobyjenner

Thanks so much for your kind words and congratulations, Toby! :smiley: It’s always great to recalls some of the greatest moments in life, no matter how long it has been. Age is just a number for sure! Big hugs back! :people_hugging:

@RobDickinson

Thanks a lot for your congratulations, Rob! :smiley:

That justifies a purchase of a Les Paul, right? :rofl:

@Elixir1253

Thanks so much for your kind words and congratulations, Colin! :smiley: The little one and myself are doing good so far. :slight_smile:

@nzmetal

Thanks so much for your congratulations and kind words, Jeff! :smiley:

That would be absolutely awesome, but I surely won’t force him into anything (just a little :wink: ).

@tony

Thanks so much for your congratulations, Tony! :smiley:

@sairfingers

Thanks so much for your congratulations and kind words, Gordon! :smiley: With his smile, Vincent will make me get him any guitar he wants. :joy:

@ontime1969

Thanks so much for your congratulations, Jason! :smiley:

Nothing wrong about a Gretsch, something still missing in my stable, too. :joy:

@Stuartw

Thanks so much for your kind words and congratulations, Stuart! :smiley: Luckily enough, he is not that noisy (yet? :scream:) most of the time and it’s still quite easy to calm him down, when he is. :slight_smile:

@CATMAN62

Thank you so much for your congratulations and kind words, Tod! :smiley: There are definitely a lot of “first times” ahead and we will enjoy each and every one of them.

Thank you so much, these words mean a lot and I will definitely give my very best to do so!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@JokuMuu

Thanks a lot for your good wishes and congratulations, Nicole! :smiley:

:joy: I remember your remark at the OM. I actually like the name, but Bob doesn’t work well with my surname and is a little less common in Germany (except for Bob der Baumeister :nerd_face:).

@Alexeyd

Thanks so much for your congratulations, Alexey. :smiley: Yes, we need all the force we can have. :sweat_smile:

@roger_holland

Thanks so much for your kind words and congratulations, Rogier. :smiley: Vincent seems to be a real pleasant dude so far, but we shouldn’t tell him, he will make use of it in the future… :rofl: Thanks for your good wishes and hugs back to Holland. :people_hugging: :kissing_heart:

@brianlarsen

Thanks so much for your congratulations to Vincen (and myself :joy:), Brian. :smiley:

I guess, in the good old times, I would be busy writing cards thanking all the peeps who send some stuff and gifts right now. :rofl: Actually, this is the only social media we shared the news - as it really is a social community unlike most of the others. :slight_smile: And certainly no oversharing planned, it’s hard to find the right balancee between sharing the joy and pleasing people’s curiosity/sympathy (which is a good thing!), but not overstepping the boundaries of someone who can’t consent, yet. But rest assured: First time playing guitar will be shared! :rofl:

@amandaw57

Thanks so much for your congratulations, Amanda. :smiley:

@Helen0609

Thanks so much for your kind words and congratulations, Andrea! :smiley: He is a little cutie pie (well, I’m his mom, nothing would convinve me he isn’t :sweat_smile:) and indeed, he awakens the lion in me and mobilizes all the forces I need to protect him. :heart:

@domi7

Thanks so much for your kind words and congratulations, Dominique. :smiley:

Was it Yoda or “Baby Yoda”? Because “Baby Yoda” is cute as hell. :heart_eyes: But maybe it’s because he wasn’t squeezed as much during delivery as I needed a C-section in the end, so there were less wrinkles than in other cases. :sweat_smile:

Oh - I wish you a good healing!
Our boy was turned up the unusual way - “Sternengucker” they called it and and had to be helped with a suction cup… well that was quite scary stuff, but in the end all went fine, luckily!
Now I didn’t want to add a picture, because it’s your very personal thread… so - maybe between Yoda and Baby Yoda, I’d say :slight_smile:

PS. My son, now 11 years old, often talks in his sleep. Just a minute ago, while asleep: he said “Trick or treat” (translated from german) Hahah :grinning:

Thanks for the good wishes on getting better soon. It will still take some time to full recovery, but at least laughing doesn’t hurt that much anymore! :sweat_smile:

The latter part sounds really creepy. :scream: So this is a good excuse for looking a little like Yoda. The good thing is, they outgrow this stage quite fast once they gain weight. :grin: Now, 11 years after, he could have been Yoda for Halloween. :rofl:

Hello Lisa, I haven’t been active in the community for a while and now I have to realize that I’ve missed the party. But better late than never - I want to congratulate you and your husband aus vollem Herzen to your cute baby son :bouquet::partying_face::hugs:.
Becoming a parent, a mother, is such a special and unique experience. And although it’s not always easy and even quite exhausting at times, it’s so precious.
I wish you and your family all the best :blush:!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and congratulations, Nicole! :smiley:

This is 100 % true. Even if nights are short or you have to feed the little one for the fifth time within one hour ( :rofl:), one cute little smile and all is forgiven and forgotten. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: We try to cherish every moment, time flies by so fast.

Lisa, most babies are highly resilient creatures and it is astounding how much they can tolerate without adverse consequences… :rofl:

I took our firstborn downhill skiing on my back at five months :wink:

Lisa, this seems safer to me … Nowadays I think you are kicked out of parenthood if you go down a hill with skis and a baby on your back :see_no_evil:(great photos though @brianlarsen )

I also volunteer to be a babysitter, a weekend is great if it’s too far to drive for 1 day.

Greetings and send you some extra of these :zzz: :zzz:

Hi Brian,

yeah, I basically know this, but still knowledge needs to be transferred to practice. :rofl: But probably a few more sleep-deprived weeks and diaper-changing fights from here, we will get there.

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures! :smiley: I back out on the skiing, never did this before and being captain clumsy, I will probably break my old bones. :person_facepalming:

May I know the location of that statue please? :rofl:

Thank you Brian! :smiley:

Hi Rogier,

for the Baby probably yes, but not for my guitar. :scream: Being at ~ 5 kg now, I think I would need a Double Bass or at least a Cello. :rofl: That pic is so sweet though, I wish we had tried this when he was still so tiny. :sweat_smile:

By the way, some of the nowadays parents are way too careful and worried, it really is absurd to watch. :see_no_evil:

Be careful with your offers, I might come back at you! :smiley:

Thank you, Rogier! :slight_smile:

@LievenDV

Thanks for your congratulations, Lieven! :smiley:

Hopefully he will be happy to have some guitars around while growing up. On the other hand, he also might turn into a tech nerd if he’s more like his dad. :smiley:

@DarrellW

Thanks for your congratulations and kind words, Darrell! :smiley: At least for us, he is already a little heartbreaker having a smile that could steal your heart in the blink of an eye. :slight_smile: But being his mom I wouldn’t say anything else. :rofl:

@Beatup6String

Thanks for your congratulations and kind words, Ashu! :smiley: He’s a little cuty pie, but see my comment above, I’m a little biased. :joy:
