Six Months & Still Laughing
I still don’t know what to expect when I have a kid, and I ‘ve had one for 6 months now. As a man, making progress is important and just when I think something is figured out, it changes — HE changes. Well, it sure keeps me on my toes and reminds me that this little guy is a real person, not some sort of sophisticated doll or something.
Isaac is his name. Isaac Jonathan. I thought I was working hard before he was born… Boy I look forward to seeing him when I get home and when he is lying in his crib in the morning, just waiting for his first hug. This boy can change in an instant so I’ve learned a new lesson in enjoying the now, not what now should, could, or might be but what it is.
As this video so clearly shows, sometimes the moment arrives and you almost don’t realize how amazingly special it is until it’s over. Thank God for inexpensive digital cameras and a quick thinking mom! I hope I can grow to appreciate the moment as it is more often and not miss the pleasant surprises that often trail the hard work. Much love to my boy and his irreplaceable mommy. A hat tip to the dads out there.

Ah…remember this thought, as the the moments pass so quickly. Children are the joy in life and worth every moment we have to give them as fathers and mothers.
A bow to all men who take a moment of their day to express the joy and privilege of being a father!

This is an awesome video! I get the biggest kick out of your cute kid and laugh each time I play this video. He is a doll! Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

My pleasure Gabriel. Thanks for creating a platform for me!
I hope we all find deeper pleasure in the often overlooked moments of life in a family. Certainly I am not alone with a kid who laughs like this…
