Wow Congrats!!

[BigTransformerTrev]

Thank you everyone for your warm wishes and congratulations Despite the massive hit this will give my TF budget I think I'll survive being a Dad - my giant crate full of FOC, GDO & TFPrime toys showed up from BBTS yesterday and did not even think of opening it

My wife Sarah finally had a good sleep last night and little Orion is beginning to feed and sleep well. I have a friend coming up from Bendigo today and he is bringing me 3 issues of Spotlight: Orion Pax (with the cover of young Orion at the front and Optimus in the background). 1 issue for me, 1 to read to Orion that he can eventually destroy, and 1 to put in a frame up on his wall

Framed Orion comic is a neat idea.
Congratulations man. Welcome to parenthood!

He looks so awesomesauce.
He'll be an Optimus in no time. Nickname him Optimus when he's older.
Good luck to your family, especially young Orion.

Rather late, I know, but a massive congratulations to BTT - I hope your Bub & Wife are continuing to do well.

Cheers guys! The complete lack of sleep takes a lot of getting used to. And here in Swan Hill we have 6 straight days of 40+ weather so it's a matter of keeping little Orion cool.

But something wonderful happened yesterday - he actually fell asleep in the bean bag with me when I was playing FOC, so to not disturb him I had to stay in that spot and play for another 3 hours

Young Orion wearing (considering his namesake) a very appropriate bib at the age of 3 months

That is an awesome photo of a Proud Bot & his Minicon if I ever saw one.

Orion had his first day at the Daycare Center today. His mother had just put his bottles, clothes etc in an old backpack. No way - my boy is going to start off with a backpack to make all the other pre-1 year old's jealous as!




By the way, he looks kinda upset in that pic but he is actually in mid-giggle
