... In memory of Will's luxuriant habit of a full-night's sleep.

Sounds like they are going to be a very happy family.

Pay attention and enjoy every minute.

I ain't slept in 28 years...

But, the big secret is ... it is filled with overwhelming FUN! You will smile and laugh every day, several times a day. Kids do and say hilarious things. They let you relive the good stuff. Embrace the joy.

They have time to see things we don't see because we are too busy.

So, watch what you do and say around the youn'un, unless you don't mind having it broadcast at the most embarrassing moment possible.

at seventeen months.

It's not that I was foul mouthed -- in fact, I kept a very clean mouth, mostly. Except for those times, usually during the height of tourist season when some idiot would nearly create an accident that would have killed both my infant and myself trying to get somewhere by ignoring traffice laws and common sense. That's when the little sobriquet for a suicidal, idjit, so-called driver would slip with shocked vehemence from between my lips. And as we all know, the little ones have BIG ears for words uttered with passion...

I learned very quickly to say something like you son of a hickeydoomajigger!

Then a ballerina.

She also scared some people at the baby store at couple months ago (she is now 6 and a half). We were getting diapers for her little brother and the diapers are on slanted rolling racks so they can load them from the back. She started pushing the rows up and they would fall back. A bunch of people doing registry scanning came by and I asked my daughter why the boxes come back down when she pushes them. She said the wheels. I said the wheels help but what makes them move on the wheels? She said Gravity? The people stopped and went silent. It was awesome.

Now I have to figure out how to get her to have as much enthusiasm when I put reading practice words on her paper lunch sack as when I put her kindergarten addition and subtraction on it.

The yelling eat your veggies or stop taking the iPod from your brother will be forgotten. But not the above stories.

When the kids are little, they say the days are long but the years are short. That is true. Once you're done with the diaper stage time just accelerates into a blur. But you do always have those memories of things like the gravity explanation.

He/she must arrive tomorrow and have the best birthday in the world

no really, have a beer for me & Mr. Pete
Your life will NEVER be the same again.
You can know consider yourself RICH!

2 kids & 1 grandkid later,
The Petersons

Now if he/she does not take after me you should be alright!

it all goes by much too quickly.

Before you know it, they'll be starting high-school and you'll wonder where the little baby you held in your arms has gone.

Congrats.

Will ought to be getting more free time before the 2014 elections.
CONGRATULATIONS WILL AND LOVELY WIFE.

if you're not... EVIL!

One minute they are a month old and the next they are asking for the car keys. Enjoy every minute in between.

that we were celebrating with you.

A whole bunch of us came to Boston to toast you and your beautiful family. Sending good thoughts and well wishes to you all.

It's a quarter Million Dollars.




Of unending love.


Or so I am told.


Congrats, Will. May your child live a long, healthy happy life.

It is a trip not to be forgotten...

Best wishes to Will and Mrs. Will.

will become a grandmother.

As for the new one: you will be amazed at your gift from God.

Congrats!!!

I swear to you, I remember changing them and swaddling them like it was yesterday. Cherish the moment. I know it sounds trite, but I'll be damned if they really don't grow up almost overnight!

That is soooo fantastic! You will be an terrific dad.

the floor. Not too excited about this!

Enjoy the wee lass!

Until you have children, you feel immune to the dangers of the world.

Once you have children, everything is a heartbreak waiting to happen.

I went willingly into war zones before I had kids. I lived by myself in some of the most dangerous cities/parts of the world and didn't think nothing of it.

Now, I worry about the soap I wash my babies in!! I have to laugh to keep from crying. I cannot believe how much having kids changes you. But I wouldn't trade it or them for anything in this world.

Welcome to the world, little one!

Will, can do buddy, can do!

Congratulations, and may your family be blessed with great love and good fortune as long as you all live.

To your baby girl!!!!

Specially to Mrs. Pitt.....

Who has, and IS performing the heroic action here.

Bless you all with love and long lives and, most of all, grace.

And William...Them diapers are REALLY gonna be a treat.

Instead of snarking you, I'll just reflect on what your life will be like a couple times a day for the next few years....

The best is yet to come.

I need a drink just thinking about it.

Ack. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Usually.

I hope you don't have to wait much longer until she is born. That's the hard part, at least it was for me, cuz I was pregnant.

Congratulations!

You will soon know the true meaning of pure JOY. Before you know it, you will be bringing them home. Strapping her into her little car seat, taking pictures, trying to figure out who she looks like, wondering what color her eyes will eventually be, counting her toes and fingers.
Drink it all in!

Will Pitt hasn't had the privilege yet? I won't wish teenage daughters like I have on him. Although the oldest paid for college with her grades. What's that worth?
The youngest is a proud lesbian.
Hang on to your hat Will, it's going to be a ride. Congrats, bro.

Haha....just bugging. I'm sure Pitt Jr will have a lot of interesting thoughts on juice and teddy bears. Congrats, Will Pitt!
