I’ve been a father for all of two months. Do I deserve a
medal yet? Absolutely not! Not because I suck as a father, but because this
fathering thing is so easy! Okay, not actually easy, but the first two months
are certainly not like the horror stories about parenting that my wife and I
stumbled across as we prepared for our little man’s arrival. He has been a true
joy, and I wake up everyday looking forward to his smile! I plan on going into
a bit more detail about my experiences, thoughts, anecdotes, and nuggets of
wisdom in time, but for now I just want to share how awesome my little Rowan
is!
Here are the past two months in seven Rowantastic moments!
Day 1! What an angel! You can't see them, but he already has his father's dashing sideburns.
Still his first week and still a cutie!
My little lion man!
(Actually, we’re calling him “bear cub”!)
All smiles for mommy!
He’s a deep thinker,
just like his daddy.
Yup.
Mr. Serious
Classic Rowan
So that basically sums up fatherhood for me. Yes, I'm leaving out dirty diapers, 2:00 am feedings, that dreaded second night, and screams that pierce my brain. But I'll get to those in time. Besides, its the good times that matter the most! The challenging times just get us there.
