we'll stick with X Man and G Unit over here on the boards.

True story, I pretend I'm like Pacino or something in Scarface, and hold Gunner like a machine, make the noise and fire my "gun". He laughs like it's the coolest thing ever.

Must see video. Gives new meaning to "Say hello to my little friend!"

No question about that.

Those must be woman nicknames.

But I also heard them on FB being called "Gunnie" and "Xandie" which makes me think Shel had a big swing and a miss and those are his nicknames above.

Hey, they are your little fellas. Call em what ya will.

Wait wait wait. If we line up those 4 nicknames and pick which one is LEAST likely to be given by a girl, I'm pretty certain that Machine Gun wins that award. Ain't no girl ever giving a nickname of Machine Gun.

Hey, I like those nicknames.

They have about 47 nicknames each, it seems. Xander is also commonly referred to as "Tank" and simply, "The Dude".

Who am I to say anything, my kid is nameless and dont see a contract agreement in sight.

Until then this will be my thought of Xman chillin on the couch nodding his head, smirking at the other one.

"Im chillin on the couch doing my thang. Crawl all you want silly one"

Uncensored version for the little ears of course

This was not even a month after his 1st crawl, apparently it doesn't take very long, crazy little bastard :

thats fantastic. sweet pic.

the picture reminds me, i remember one time we put our youngest in his room to go to bed in his crib...15 minutes later we heard something and went into his room. he was sitting on the floor.

apparently he climbed out of his crib spiderman style and dropped 3 or 4 feet to the floor....

he is already trying to escape

pff

i'd say he was around 1 or similar to the age of Shel's son there.

Last night concluded the worst night of 10.5 months of fatherhood, and probably the worst night of my entire life.

Getting my big boy out of the tub, I still don't quite know how it happened. But he squirmed right out of my arms as I was wrapping him in a towel.

Fell over from pretty high. I was able to catch him, but not before he hit his head on the sharp corner of the counter for the bathroom sink. Cut his head open a bit and just had this monstrous knot on his head.

After a trip to the ER(thank God for knowing doctors and nurses and not having to wait 10 hours in an ER LOL), and a catscan and all of that good stuff, the big guy is ok.

But reliving that moment of impact and how hard he hit and how sharp that corner is, I'm shocked it wasn't much, much worse.

I've never felt this bad in my entire life. I literally almost threw up about 15 minutes after it happened, just beating myself up over it.

glad he is ok. tell him chicks love scars!

he's a trooper shel, tough kid.

He cried for 5 minutes, then after that, not once again, everything was normal like nothing ever happened.

i, on the other hand, was a wreck and still had tears coming down at 2am, 2 hours after we were home and he was sleeping. It wasn't even the cut or anything which looked bad enough at the time, it was juts thinking over and over how hard he hit that corner. It sucked!!!
