Our little girl has started talking, and it is so much fun!
She tries to get our attention quietly first, but if she can't get our attention nicely, she squawks. She was squawking the other day at the foot of the organ bench (she wanted to play), and when she finally had my attention, she looked at me and said, "Please." I didn't know she knew that word! Of course, she got to play for a while.
Just now, as our friends were leaving to go home, she walked them to the door and waved and said "Bye bye." Ok, so she's 16 months old, so it wasn't terribly articulate - but it was cute!
There's this song I love that says "when tough little boys grow up to be dads, they turn to big babies again." And he talks about his little girl. The song made me excited to be a dad, and wow, it is so true - I turn into a babbling, doting dad.
Fatherhood is wonderful, and men who chose not to become fathers are really missing out.
What a beautiful gift is given us by our Father in Heaven, to be parents. How kind to let us see just a glimpse of what He experiences in being our Father - knowing that we will eventually learn something important, and the joy when we finally master something, or begin to understand something.
I am so grateful to my wife for giving me the great gift of fatherhood.

Of all that you said...even more than all those gushing "daddyfeelingproudaspunch" words...
A man who takes the time to be grateful to his wife in these days...gives me great hope. I only wish I had known how to say those words when I had the chance.
Good for you. You are truly blessed in my eyes.
