So here is a bit of a throwback.

That's me in the green being held by my "Pa". I have no idea how old I was there but this is at least 25 years ago.
I'm not sure but that watch may be a Constellation or a DeVille? I'm like, 93% sure it's an Omega.
I might be seeing him in a month or so (dude's like 90 now) but I think he still has it...

I got started in all this because of my dad and uncle, who always had cool watches. And that made me intrigued and curious about them, so it's no wonder I'm up into this crazy hobby. It's nice to see all these beautiful little children, and it's fun to think about how they perceive the enjoyment you get from your watches, and how that will probably have an effect on them. And, who knows: if this forum is still here in 25 years, they may be sharing their stories about you.

Mine likes the taste of the Apple Watch.
Well, actually all watches.

She’s now old enough to grab and pull the watch to her mouth for a taste!
Edited to add more cuteness:

These are photo we get in the daily e-mail report from her preschool.

How old? Mine is about 6.5 months.
I’m just here watching her snooze.

She will be four months on the 17th. She was born on Fathers Day!

And I wish I could say I could put her in a crib like that and walk away!

We are only just now starting to do that.
We would rock her to sleep and put her down.
Now we are trying to move away from that and its sort of working hah.
Sometimes she will just lay there and fall asleep, but more often than not she will just rage cry for up to 10 min before she finally falls asleep.
Last night was the first night where she rolled over on her own while sleeping.
She of course didn't stay sleeping hah.

Babies provide a new insight into the power and importance of time. Especially their power over mom and dad's sleep time, or lack of same.

Mom's definitely got it worse for now since she's a mamas girl.
I plan to change that later on though hah.

Update on this.
Took my daughter to go see her great grandparents and I snagged a picture of it....
