On May 4th my wife and I welcomed our first child, Ella, into this world. I know I've been away for many, many months and I do apologize for that. But here she is. First pic is immediately after birth (maybe 5 minutes old) and the second was two days later when she finally woke up a bit.

Adorable! Congrats! How is fatherhood treating you?

Good work there!
She's adorable.

Burks! That's awesome, congratulations! She's adorable.

I guess she's two months old now; I hope you're all doing well.

I don't actually know any Ellas! Is it short for something like Ellen or Isabella, or is it just Ella full stop?

Congrats, man. She's precious!

Congratulations! Only 18 years until you partially regain your freedom!

Well done, both of you. Well, mainly the mother, let's be honest.

That's a baby! Congrats to you two, and good luck with what's coming!

It's awesome man. Totally frustrating at times but worth it. She's starting to smile when happy, follow you, etc. Always something new. I love it.

All she had to do was lay there while they cut Ella out of her, easy right? :lmao:

Let's forget about the foley or the needle to her spine. :lol:

Just Ella, not short for anything. We've been surrounding her with Elephants, she loves them.

Will do!

She's a ton of fun (and tons of bills :roll:

). I finally got the dread "diaper explosion" today. All down my pants. :facepalm:

My wife was laughing, daughter was laughing, I was not laughing!

Ella ate her first real food yesterday, BA-NA-NA-S! She actually loved them. Still a little ouchy from her 4 months vaccines but loved every bite, she ate the whole container.

11% for her height
20% for her weight
40% for her head

Basically what I was as a kid until 18. Short, skinny, big ass head.
