Photographers snapped Ashlee Simpson and husband Pete Wentz carrying son Bronx Mowgli through LAX yesterday. It was the first public appearance for Bronx since his birth three months ago.

On the subject of Bronx, Pete recently admitted that his son helped him overcome his bipolar disorder. Pete claimed he struggled with the condition since childhood, but nothing helped until Bronx came along.

“While I’ll always be bipolar, I find it easier to deal with now. With marriage and fatherhood, I’ve finally found two fixed points in my life. They’ve taught me patience. They’ve also taught me that I don’t need to feel guilty about being happy. My emotional seasons are less extreme.

“In the past my brain would never stop. Now I’m a father, the world no longer revolves around me. When I’m with Bronx, he’s got my complete attention. It fascinates me to speculate on what he’s thinking and feeling at any given moment. I also love to speculate about what kind of man he’s going to become. He could be another Neil Armstrong or Christopher Columbus. Who is he going to fall in love with? What’s his hair going to be like when he’s 15? Then, while I’m fantasizing about all this stuff, he’ll go to put his hand in his mouth and end up smacking himself in the eye. He’s the single greatest achievement of my life.”

Well, you’re guaranteed one thing, Pete: Bronx will eventually grow up to be a man with a silly name.
