well thanks for the positive feedback i love this kid to death and hes so cute....honestly he must get it from his mom..lol....

whats a metronome??

i dont think ill get a high class luxury car like a bmw, TL..why spend all the money on a car just to have that kid get it all messy
i would much rather go for something cheaper..ill probably get a sonota...i own a 99 elantra that has been very good to me, so i like hyundai, plus it also has an H for a logo, like my S...

Also, we were never really quiet around our baby so noise when he sleeps really hasnt been an issue...

Thanks..
David

I watch my buddy con his kid to sleep the easy way. A tv with no picture just the white and black fuss and the fuss sound (white noise). Works likes a charm mix that with the metronome/ticking clock and you've got a sure fire way to help him sleep. The tv drowns out the noise your making around the house but make sure you have a monitor or else you won't hear him making noise.
just watch out for poltergeists!

Don't pay attention to the people who say you're too young. I had my kid at 21 (my wife was a bit younger), and we're doing alright. My daughter is now 11, and still the best thing in the world.

Congrats on the boy, and look out for the baby fountain (not a big problem with girls).

A metronome is a device used to keep time to music. You see them on top of pianos a lot. It just swings back and forth at a specific rate of time. Your looking for one click about every .7 seconds or so to simulate the human heart rate. You can adjust it to keep time and most don't require batteries. http://www.metronomeonline.com/ now this is sort of annoying but you get the point. You want an old style one not this new crap digital clicking noise. something like this http://www.swstrings.com/Store/Shopping.js...omes&Group=1154

thought I would think you could find on much cheaper if you looked a little longer than I did.

oh the baby fountain is awesome..lol...i had been with my wife for 5 years before we got married...ALL through high school then we moved in together...we got pregnant cuz she lost one ovary and has endomitriosis...(scarring on the other ovary) she probably wont be able to have kids after the next year or so....

Best decision ive ever made, its a whole new world, but one im looking very forward to.
I was never worried about people sayin im too young, i actually think its better cuz i wont be old when he turns 18

We had full support from my family too, her mom was a bit..um...well, we will just leave it at that...Now her mom is in love with her grandchild

when we went to his two month checkup they rated his abilities in the 97%, which means hes advanced..he is basically the equivalent in the ability department as that of a 4-7 month old baby.. holds head up, smiles, rolls over..coos ALL the time..
At two months he should be holding his head up. If he was 4-7 he would be crawling.

FWIW the "averages" as far as height, weight, length etc are based on a survey of about 1100 kids from Iowa. Not a really good sample size or distribution. There is an effort underway to broaden that spectrum a bit.

Grats on the kid tho.
