"Happy birthday, Samurai Jack Goldman!" the doting dad began his update. "Before lil’ Sam came along, I was certain that my heart was at capacity. I had no more room to fit any more love because how could I possibly with the two most beautiful girls in the world. I was right, there was no more room. Instead, my heart just grew a few sizes, and now my little family is just a tiny bit bigger."

After noting that their son weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces at birth, Goldman added, "I’m so excited to get the chance to raise a good little man into the world. I’m so excited for this sweet little baby to live his life and become the man he is destined to be."

Referencing his daughter, Josephine, 5, Goldman declared that his son, "got the best big sister a kid could ask for, and his mommy is the best one I’ve ever seen."

He concluded the post by writing, "Starting off on the good foot, Sam, just don’t do the dumb stuff I did. Invent your own dumb stuff. Go get ‘em, Tiger. I’m rootin’ for you."
