Dad for the second time!

Dad for the second time!
This blog is to give a dad's perspective of having a new baby. I wanted to share this journey of having a new baby in the house and a two-year-old little girl.

D - > Dad for the second time!
The Big 2

Yesterday my daughter turned two.  Though she did not understand the whole birthday concept, she had a good time opening presents and blowing out candles.  Everyday I am more amazed at that little girl. How she views the world and watching it unfold from her point of view never gets old.  Every new word she learns is just as exciting to me as her first word. Just last week she began saying her own name very clearly.  She has been able to say her name for a while now and though it sounded similar to her name it was more just a mocking jumble of sounds.  Now I ask her to say her name 20 times a day just for my own entertainment. She has turned into a little copycat so we now have to be a lot more careful of what we say and what we do.  It will be a small adjustment for my wife and me but it will pay off and avoid problems down the road.

 

Our little boy is turning into a little chunk.  He will be 7 weeks tomorrow and must be pushing 14 pounds.  The last few evenings he has been throwing a colossal fit, probably from getting over-stimulated during the day. He is sleeping more at night though and helping us get some rest finally. But today he offered his first true smiles and my wife was able to capture them with our camera.  The last six weeks of little or no sleep paid off in that single moment. It is only going to get easier from here.   -D-
