Ariyan Julia Cooper was born 6lb 15oz or 3145 grams on August 2nd 2005 at 1:40 PM.

Both supermodels are doing fine and are now at home resting. Well one is and the other is enduring the baptism of fire that a little one brings to a household.

After many years of waiting it has overwhelmed me at how much joy this little bundle has brought us and I'm not to proud to say she has reduced me to tears more than once already.

I wasn't going to make an announcement but have received a few nice member messages enquiring so thought that perhaps I would.

Apologies to others for the non 4WD content

Congratulations, beautiful baby, nothing replaces the excitement of your first. The 4WD content will apply as you deal with new challenges of 4WDing with a young family.

Cheers,

Jim.

Congrats Coops..... like Jim said above, in about 20 years time you'll get your life back..... BUT! Along the way you will get so much joy from your child/children that you may not want it back! My kids constantly have me yelling at them over something.... and yet that still pales into insignificance compared to how proud to be their father that they make me.

Once again Coops, congratulation's and may you all lead long and healthy lives!

Congratulations Coops.

Nothing ever comes close to the feeling of seeing your first baby being born.

Quote: "I'm not to proud to say she has reduced me to tears more than once already." ..........get used to this, cos there'll be lots more occasions when a tear will be shed. hahaha

Let the fun begin...................

Cheers mate

Congratulations, she's beautiful! Get used to those tears Coops - sometimes they will be in frustration but most of the time they will be tears of joy.

Great New Coops,

I'm happy that the wait is finally over for you guys.

The joys have only just started for you - trust me. It is amazing watching kids acquire skills and interact as they grow. You will be astounded at how fast they pick some things up.

By the way - you are hereby sentenced to two years of nappies :-)

Well done.

Regards

Good to hear mate

It'll be odd seeing a "baby on board" sign on such a lifted cruiser...
