Heard my baby's heartbeat last night just from pressing my ear against my wife's belly. Hearing it on the Doppler at the midwife's is one thing, but this was something else. We grabbed my wife's stethoscope for her but we couldn't find it, even though I could still hear it without. But there'll be lots more time for that. My wife got to feel the flutters way before I could feel the kicks, so this is a little something I get to have just between me and the baby for a little bit. ;)

I still listen to my children's heartbeats every day. It still amazes me, for some reason!

At age 14 they may think it is a little weird.

He reminds me of the tough guy character from the Survivors show on Netflix.
Hope thats not a bad thing for you. I liked the character.

The little man doesn't like crawling on his knees in the grass so he crawls on all fours with his knees out. It is quite funny to watch. He will be 9 months old this week.

And the others are just some recent pictures of our boys looking dapper <3

Missy & Doc, you have been blessed with some beautiful boys, congrats!

Some fine looking lads there. Love the flat cap. (Mental note. Buy the boy a flat cap)

What wonderful pictures, Missy! Such happy and adorable boys.

if your kid digs the cap, get him this book!

Blake (in the blue) LOVES hats and will wear them all day long...Lucas likes them but takes them off often and then tries to put them back on again, but can't so after the 12th time, it is more frustration than it is worth lol

My kids being flower girl and ring bearer at a friends wedding. Hannah is a pro at this, this is her second wedding. We were nervous about Matthew, but he nailed it.

Then Matthew decided it was time to dance at the reception. He tried to break dance and do the splits.

Can do.

And is done.

Thanks! I felt bad for even noticing it, but once seen...

That's cool, it's probably fine when I'm just in the other threads, but I didn't think about it in this one. I like to show you guys off to prove to my wife that 'we're all actual humans' in this community. If you're doing the same, that wouldn't be a cool thing for an SO to pick up on.

On that subject, FlamingPeasant, my girls loved the footage of your little guy going down that hill. They must have watched it at least 20 times. They refer to him as 'the happy boy on the bike'.

Lexie, almost three, has just discovered hats (even at bed time).

You are raising your daughter right, my friend. Get 'em hooked on hats early.

Here's my wife and daughter at Disneyworld, hanging out with Tigger.

Also, Madeleine is getting to the point where she can feed herself. She loves those mum-mums.

So cute! Lucky little girl to go to Disney!

And our guys love Mum-mums as well!

What kind of camera do you use? The quality of your pictures is amazing and so crystal clear!

Thanks! The camera is a Nikon D5100, those pics were shot with my 50mm f1.8/g lens.

The boss fell asleep on our last hike.
