Amazing. Usually I'm ambivalent about babies but I squeal over puppies and kittens, but I'm downright cooing over the lil fella. Look at those chubby cheeks.

Hee hee, same here...

But, I can't argue, he's a handsome lil'downer.

Congratulations!!!

Very glad to hear that Lal is okay, a ceasarian is absolutely no easy thing (as recounted to me by mum, hers almost killed her, but that's a story not needed here), and congratulations again! I hope the little one brings you more life and happiness.

Good job you two, and warm welcome to the little fellow! Wishing you 3 the best!

(He does look remarkably well for all he's been through. Hope that the same can be said for Lal!)

I'm so happy with this!

Sooner than you think he will be questioning all you wish to teach him. And before you realise he will go to school - that happens so fast!! And after that he will probably join the Downs and lo! what can we do about it but to learn from him then...

Congrats!

Just be human with your little guy.

No manual can teach what loving parents can do. Make him feel that he's welcome in this world and that the arms of mummy and daddy are cozy as well...

I'm so happy about to hear this!

Wow, just wow...absolutely adorable. He's even got my niece's cheeks when she was born.

I think he's got a promising future, I mean after all a child from lal and davem could only mean we will, in time, have a new wight at the top of the reputation totem poll.

Congradulations to all of you.

1420! <- Here's a beer to wet the baby's head ...

Haven't been around much lately - family, work, other interests etc - so I have only just seen this.

Many congratulations to both - all three - of you. I am really happy for you. I remember when our first was born - nearly 10 years ago now - and what a wonderful moment it was. As for those who tell you to make the most of every moment, well they've got it just about right. The years just seem to whizz by.

I am impressed that you sound so calm, Lal, after what you have been through. My recollection of the first few weeks is utter panic, although that was largely because Mrs S had some complications (severe back pain from a botched volley of epidurals), and I had to learn the basics of babycare pdq. Still, it sounds like you are coping well, and I'm glad that you have got davem doing his fair share.

And bear in mind that things are always much easier second time round.

All the best.
