Just remember when they get that special little look in their eyes, that they are about to stab you with something.
I did what many told me not to and I would like your wisdom, guys

Babies are designed to respond to/pay more attention to higher pitched voices. Just saying.
If anyone gave your wife the advice to wake the baby up to feed it...don't do it.
Take a picture at least once a day because babies change so much from day to day.
WE had one kid under 8 pounds (something like 7lb 14 oz), the other four ranged from 8-5 to 9-10. My wife is 5ft 9 in, so it was not too burdensome on her.
I think I might hate you out of envy now.
I can't believe it, but I'm agreeing with something Millsapa is saying. There's an expression out there that says "Don't wake a sleeping baby". I agree with it 100%. The baby will wake itself up when it wants to eat. You'll be going on not enough sleep anyway, so there's no reason to add to it.
And one other thing: Don't ever teach it the to say "hehepeepeecaca".
My babies mama is 5'10 so yea same thing. Had them both, showered, got ready and asked to be released lol. She was not a happy camper when she was told no.
hehepeepeecaca is going to take on a whole new very literal meaning for Archie. He'll probably never want to say(type) it again.
This pretty much says it all. To add to a few others:
Always laugh and joke when they get hurt. My wife GASPS and RUSHES over to help, and all it does is make your kid a friggin' puss-wad.
You can't say, "I love you" enough, and consequently, you can't hear it enough either. It's the best.
Please, for the love of the Gods, SPANK your kids. Timeout's and lectures don't teach your kids a damn thing. All that teaches them is, "If I don't do what I'm told, the worst that will happen is I get to go relax by myself for a few minutes." Rough. Discipline early and often, don't let them get away with anything, and you'll be surprised at how much you DON'T have to discipline them when they get older. You'll be shocked at how smart your children will be, and how fast they 'get it' when it comes to doing things they're not supposed to. Don't fall into the excuse trap that, "They're only XX years old!" -- that's a load of crap. Don't beat your kids, but let them know that you're the boss and what you say is LAW. Break the law, feel the wrath. Your kids' future teachers, bosses, friends and relatives will thank you. Best of all, your kids will thank you.
Talk to them like they're adults. Ask A LOT of questions. Questions about everything. "Do you want to wear this shirt today? You do? Alright!" or "Do you like XXXX food? You do? Sweet!" I'm serious, ask them everything. They'll pick up talking a lot sooner and I think it helps them gain confidence, teaches them how to make choices, etc. Again, you'll be shocked at how smart their little brains are, and they'll say and do the most amazing things if you just cultivate their minds a little.
Get a schedule! Put them to bed at the same time, every night, never fail. Trust me on this one.
That reminds me, when my wife talked to my son she would always say things like "tall green tree" or "big red truck" instead of "tree" and "car." We always talked to our son like we talked to each other. He developed speech and a good sized vocabulary early.

You want to help your son? Love his mother.
Sometimes babies cry, close the door and walk away.
Get down on the floor to play.
Everybody can see you are bigger than he is, there is NEVER a reason to prove it.
You can control your phone, your tv, your car, your computer. The kid is his own person, don't freak out if he wants to do things his own way. Personality begins to show earlier than you'd think.
Trouts rule about bedtime--you'd be wise to listen. Let me add that your bed is NOT for kids. Take them to the couch but don't you or your wife teach them to sleep with you or they'll never get out.
