I am respecting Jim's right to tell this story but was unwilling to wait to start offering congratulations. Not that I am trying to refute your comments about men.

I am more than pleased to provide some details. Allow me to introduce "the Littlest Hiker," my daughter Joyce who was born on Friday September 25th at 7:31 in the morning. At birth, she weighed 8 lbs, 5 oz (3.775 kg) and was 20" (51 cm) long.
Showing great hiking promise, her eyes brightened noticably when I showed her a 1:24,000 topo. 
Maps or no maps, daddy is all smiles.

Prior to the baby's coming, my wife went into "nesting frenzy" to get the baby's room ready. Now that the baby is here where does she stay? In our room.
She's a fabulously wonderful little sweetie. With really good lungs.

Looks like she probably lucked out - not sharing a bday with Rumpled!
But, I do share one with Guinness on the 24th. |

Hey, congrats Jim! I can't wait until your bundle of joy gets to experience Buckhorn with her daddy just like I did with my Dad way back when (well... not THAT far back)! And other spots, too.

Also, let the record show that I totally would've offered congratulations much earlier in the thread had I been able to figure out what was going on.
The baby pic really gave it away. |
