We need beer delivered.
These 3 o'clock feedings/cryings/wetting 2 diapers/needing another change of clothes are the killer. Suddenly it's like 4:15.
Maybe you should stop feeding your child beer at 3am!  |

That's fantastic, congratulations, hope everyone is doing well. Alexander is a great name, just threaten anyone who tries to call him Alex.

Congratulations on the baby and the name. Just be glad the Oliver Stone Alexander movie tanked, or your kid would constantly be conflated with Colin Farrel.

If he gets good at a sport, people will call him Alexander the Great, just like Ovechkin.

He will need to take after his mom then. Last time I saw Furiously participating in a sport, he was sitting on his ass in the middle of a fairway (after having fallen out of his golf cart) drunk out of his gourd. |

I golfed the best game of my life that day. I was celebrating. I don't even want to think about how much I consumed that day. I'm frankly amazed my liver didn't just slap me. I definately shot better then my wife. My shots were straight and true. Unlike someone I know that is a master of the hook.
edit to add: I was lining up my shot from the ball height.
As for middle name, as I said, I wanted to go with Bruce. Instead I went with Wayne. (Which is actually my father's middle name.) The most important thing to us was that is was a good yelling name, "Like Alexander Wayne Peperoni! You get your ass in here!"

Totally awesome, welcome to the club. Alexander is a great name... wife didn't like it for our boy, so you can have it.
That no-sleep thing... it gets better in six to nine months. Or rather, you just stop worrying and learn to love being a zombie.

Congrats. Good solid name with a bit of history, and most importantly, not easily made fun of.
Oh, and since it really isn't a big enough deal to make a thread of its own, I did just find out that I am going to be an uncle for the first time. I'm excited, my uncle was my favorite realtive as a kid and I hope to carry on the tradition.

Just don't call him Alex. I hate that name. Alexander actually has some appeal. Or just Xander.

Congrats. My advice is to Ferberize (or a variant thereon) the kid as early as you feel comfortable doing. It's a pain in the ass but works quite well and usually only takes a few days. You will have to be the hard-ass because the mom will always want to go in and comfort him. We waited until Alec was about 14 months and I wish we had done it at least six months earlier. |

Oddly enough the only sound that wakes me up is a baby puking. I sleep through crying.

I'll second the notion that Dad has to be the hardass. It did not occur to me to mention it for the same reason I did not mention the sky was blue, but on reading Ab's post I realized that I have been indoctrinated pretty well at this point.
Puking plus crying could be GIRD or the weak sphincter problem, we had a test and it was pretty conclusive my son had the weak sphincter (forget the name for the one at the top of the stomach) so we had medicine and diet changes to do. Cleared up after the third month. We regret not overreacting, which would have only been regular acting since it turns out it was a real problem when he would lay down.

So, I'm playing with one of our cats while watching my son last night. Cat is jumping around like crazy.
So then I hear, "Kitty!"
I turn around and realize my wife didn't say it. She turns to me, and we both shake our heads. (Of course we then smiled like crazy and coaxed him into saying it twice more).
So there is the first word from my son.

What's the guy equivalent of a crazy cat lady? Cause if the first words of out of his mouth was "kitty" instead of "mama" or "dada" I fear for his future :-D

Awesome! Soon he'll be riding the cat, and then the sand worms!
My brother and I swear my nephew's first words were "Star Wars" He and I both heard it, and it made sense as his oldest cousin (who he'd been staying with when my sister was at work) was watching the OT regularly at that time. However, my sister refuses to believe it and coached him to say "Mama" 2 days later.

Don't worry, Fur- he will get to you after he names everything in the house, the grandparent's house, etc. Dads get no love, I swear.
You need to bring him over for a visit as well. He can chew on shit on the floor while we play GH II :-D

My first word was "truck." I think I meant to say "fuck"

I think truck was one of my first as well, although I started with 'cruck'. As in "what a crock of shit it is that I can't speak in full sentences yet and let you people know what I am thinking!".

My oldest nephew's first word was "whiskey." At least that was the first one we noticed. We didn't give him any, of course.
