I never told you guys....

On the 12th May I became a father for the first time.
After being 11 days late, a 3 day rollercoaster process through labour  and birth (induction, emergency foreceps, retained placenta surgery) we welcomed our daugher Isabelle (affectionately known as Izzy) to the world. Mercifully with COVID we were looked after very well and I was able to be 100% present.

All fathers Im sure say it, but truly I could not be more in awe or proud of my wife, throughout everything.

This was Izzy when she was born



This was about a week later safe at home settling into life (note the COVID haircut)



Ive been on and off learning the piano...she seemed "interested" here...



We were proud to learn she was soon accepted into Hogwarts (mother is a huge fan)



3 months old, happy again after a bad week due to vaccinations (sorry, antivaxxers)



This series of three were taken today. Im sure only a parent would find this so entertaining, but Jen and I were laughing a lot at this little series.







Its like she called a town meeting then decided to eat one of the inhabitants.

Anyway, hope you like the pictures. Now I have an official heir to my Lovetone pedal collection. She better want to learn guitar....

So happy for you! Congratulations!

My daughter was 10 days late, and if my little one is any indication, you got yourself an independent trend-setter on your hands, haha. 

Beautiful family you got there.

She certainly knows her own mind
Desperate to be mobile already, rolling over at 3 months

Jen was convinced we were having a boy all along but one of the midwives said girls like to make a dramatic entrance and she sure did (!)
