How to reply to 「いま、すごく幸せです？」


I have a colleague who is blessed with a girl child and I posted a greeting
saying

> おめでとうございます

In reply to this, he said

> ありがとう。いま、すごく幸せです？

I guess he is asking me about my well being. How should I reply to such
questions in Japanese if I want to politely say [I'm good thank you!]?




> _I guess he is asking me about my well being._

In fact, I don't think so. 幸せ usually doesn't mean normal well-being but only
the full-of-joy state, that like whoever has their child. It's not a word you
use to ask if somebody is fine.

In this case, unless it's typo or mojibake, the final ？ represents some degree
of unsureness or hesitation towards previous words (or, choice of words). It's
bit slangy, orthographical (non-verbal) usage of the sign, but quite
widespread at least on the internet. They as often as not enclose the question
mark with parentheses （？）, in that case, more unambiguous to readers. With all
of these it's still open to wide interpretation, but I guess he want to tell
something like:

> It hasn't hit me yet, but I suppose I'm really happy.
>
> Is that so-called, I couldn't be happier?
