Mazel tov, Bort! One piece of advice I will pass along: enjoy the time when you can set the baby on the floor (on a blanket), leave the room, come back and the baby is happily playing in the same place. Once they discover mobility, you are done for.

Congrats! I expect many pictures of the little one shoved inside your Neptune while you've still got it! :D

No lie... I made my wife take pictures of this for me for father's day. Harder than I thought! Haven't pulled them off the camera yet though...

Yeah, I tried stuffing my boy in my bell for a few pictures, but I waited too long. He was too old by then and refused to cooperate... :)

Yeah, my son didn't cooperate much either. Plus, the bell is so gigantic, it was hard to do much with him without losing him to the tuba. :)

Congrats! Now you can finally go to your local amusement park with your family, get separated from mom, only to have her hear over the intercom, "attention, we have also arrested your balder, fatter son."
