Marianne and I brought Charlotte into the world at 2103 monday night :) 7lb 5 , and initially quiet but now showing the full strength of her lungs !
Sleep deprived and happy, here are a few pics!

Dear Charlotte. Please make sure mummy is OK as she will be very tired today, you take care of her and be a good girl. Now Daddy, he might act silly after his mates have taken him to the pub, but it is ok, it won't be the last time you look at your daddy and laugh. Welcome to the world Charlotte, you have two great parents, who love you heaps.

[KarenC]

In view of the above, there's not much left to be said
Hoping you all stay healthy and happy
Compose a few more poems (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?89980-About-Impending-Fatherhood), so they can be read
Or will you be to busy, with that nappy. :o

Congratulations. :th3:

[Shelley]

How gorgeous is she and really like the name Charlotte. Congrats Dylan and Marianne. I look forward to seeing her grow through photos you show us all on AP. She is just adorable in those photos.

[Sueann]

Absolutely wonderful news! Congratulations, she is just beautiful :D Love the photos!

[Dylan & Marianne]

thanks for the well wishes everyone :)
I think that picture marianne took of me is definitely going up somewhere for the immediate future and I'm sure will be part of speeches in the distant future :P

[dbax]

Huge congrats to you Dylan, and Marianne and welcome to the world Charlotte. your lives have changed forever, enjoy the ride !!:th3:

[Xenedis]

A big congrats to you and Marianne.

I'm surprised you didn't insist she deliver Charlotte in some magical Icelandic wilderness.

Charlotte is a very nice name, too. Not too common.

[aussie girl]

I never knew a newborn baby's tongue could protrude so far!!! Fantastic shots but I love the last one the most. If she is poking her tongue out at her dad this early in life, what will she be like when she gets older????:eek:

[janet1949]

OMGoodness... how cute... congratulations

[Dylan & Marianne]

thanks again all - we will have to make that tongue poking a theme :P

[arthurking83]

congrats Dylan! :th3:

[Allie]

Congratulations to Marianne and Dylan and welcome to the gorgeous Charlotte, now you just need to find a photographer to record her every moment.

:p: :lol: Love all the shots so far - Marianne looked radiant after the birth - amazing!!

[stoogest]

Massive congratulations to both of you! Will we now see a shift from landscape to portraiture perhaps :p ?

Andrew.
