  • Mazal Tov!!

    My advice… get involved. Be there for your little one. Restrict access to the TV and gaming systems for at least 2 years (at minimum, prevent them from the bombardment of advertisements and only let them watch pre-approved recorded video).

    Listen to your little one. They can communicate without speech. Watch their expressions. Pay attention. Enjoy every moment.

    The baby Gary Vee announcement may have trumped the Notorious BIG movie opening this Friday.

    Let’s look at my Top 5 names (full names – assuming a boy for now):

    1. Notorious Gary Vaynerchuk

    2. Gary Vee Vaynerchuk, Jr.

    3. Randy Macho Man Vaynerchuk

    4. Mott Vaynerchuk (no middle name)

    5. Thomas Brady Vaynerchuk (to help you soften your feelings for the PATS)

    VERY, VERY happy for you. So is Nhan. And she wants to know, “Is Gary really going to Brooklyn to watch Notorious BIG?”

    Congrats Gary!

    Gotta love the Mr. Sketch markers! Put ’em on the list of things to pick up before the little one arrives There was one I didn’t like… maybe black (licorice)? or maybe it was the brown one (Cinaman?) Anyway, great reference.

  • kaybee

    Well, congrats! How exciting. Our daughter is having their first baby in August, so we wish you the best! This will be our 2nd grandchild. What fun!

    Start saving for college now. Seriously, because you love him or her, you will know what is best. We didn’t do everything perfect with our children, but we loved them better than anyone. Enjoy the years, they go by fast.

    QOTD: Don’t read any pregnancy/infancy books. They will drive you nuts learning about all the things that could go wrong. Our parents and grandparents did this whole baby thing without obsessing over it and we turned out okay.

    Congrats GV and Lizzy.

    Not a father, but as an Uncle I can say, trust your parents advice. They raised you and you turned out alright.

  • Chris

    CONGRATS GARY! Though I didn’t get an e-mail .. I just came home now and saw the updated podcast in iTunes.

    Anyway, that’s wonderful news I KNEW you were joking about the Keynote and I had a feeling it was about you being a Dad.

    I guess we’re going to have to wait 21 years now until you bring your child onto the show to taste wines eh? 😀

  • Congrats Gary!!!! I have been a long time fan and couldn’t think of a better day to stop my “lurking” and leave a comment. You will be a great dad. Good luck and get ready for the best time of your life.

    Congrats Gary!!! All my best to you and Lizzy. I bet you’re thinking what 2009 vintage you’ll keep for your baby when they turn 21. Maybe a show in the future, 2-3 years, on what wines to store away for your little one.

  • SCOTTYL

    Gary Congrats!!! QOTD:It will be tough with your workload but be as much of a “hands on” parent as you can.
    Why is it that CDP’s shut down in the 3-6 year range but their vacqueras and gigondas cousins usualy don’t?

    Gary –

    Okay, finished watching the episode. Good show, but completely overshadowed by the announcement of your impending life-changing event . . . and justly so!

    QOTD: Diaper changing (I fully expect you are going to do your part as a good father!) – now don’t take this wrong! but they (babies) aren’t as fragile as you think they might be . . . when changing a diaper quickly and without undue stress to you and the baby, use a firm (not tight) grip to hold and maneuver the little one during the process.

  • Kirk AKA: (slave2thevine)

    Congrats! My advise would be to enjoy your time with your family, work 10 hours less a week, and remember that both you & Lizzy will need your time out on your own. Make time for a “date night” (you don’t have to drink the wine)…but do get your alone time out on the town once a week.

  • Kudos to you and Lizzy for the new heartbeat in your home! Congratulations are in order and thanks for sharing with us. My advice would be to catch up on sleepZzzzzs now/anytime you can grab some and ramp up that keen sense of humor you have. You will need both!
    Awesome keynote presentation at the Inman News RE Connect event and I still laugh out loud when I recall your comment “embrace your DNA!” and other Gary Veeisms from that inspired moment. Thank you!
    High fives for your spot-on review of Chateau Saint Jean; my local wine store recommended it to me a couple of weeks ago as fantastic value for the price and they , like you, were right.
    I love to collect, drink, and share good wine with friends and family so I’m glad to add your expertise to my favourite past time. Keep it coming Gary Vee 😉 Cheers & Thanks!

  • Congratulations to you both! Amazing that you were able to keep your secret for so long. Good man.

    My advice to you as a father of one beautiful daughter? Take the time every day to see the world through your child’s eyes. It will fill your soul in a way you cannot imagine.
