Ahh the joys of the internet. Without intonation or facial expressions, it's really hard to know what the OP's intent was.
I read it with a smile, as a few friends would say over a beer: "man, that lucky SOB...". With the kind of tone you
would say with the person standing there. But maybe that's just me.
And it's hard to look at it and not think how lucky he is. Get's to do something many people would love to do. Work with/for/around some of the best in his chosen profession, and contribute in a meaningful way too. On top of that he has a gorgeous wife, who by all appearances is a wonderful person, and a brand new baby. Add in a pretty secure future financially, and that looks like a pretty good life. Whether you want to argue he earned it or not, in the larger scheme of things, that's a lucky guy.
