My Third Wedding Anniversary

Today is my third wedding anniversary so tonight my wife and I are going out to dinner to celebrate.   In order for this to happen we needed to obtain a baby sitter; this is a fairly new situation for us considering our baby is just over two  months old.  It’s weird to think that I’ve been a dad for two whole months.  In retrospect, a lot has happened in regards to her growth.  She recently discovered her hands, so now when a toy is held up over her (like her whoozit thanks to Rach, D and Aim) she will swat at it in a very clumsy way sometimes even making contact with it.  It doesn’t sound like much, but when it happens the reaction from my wife and I, is that of the annoying, stereotypical parents usually portrayed in a movie or TV program.  With the discovery of her hands, comes the threat of her ferociously pinching my neck without warning. That freaking hurts!   Her overall growth is astonishing.  She has moved up to a bigger sized diaper, which she is just starting to wear properly.  This was an interesting transition; when she out grew the small diapers her poop would squish up her back and/or tummy depending upon the position she was being held in; (Surprise Grandma!!) with the new diapers, they didn’t fit just right initially so at times when she pooped it would seep down her leg due to the diaper having a little too much room to roam. (Tasty, I know) Truth be told, I haven’t seen this quantity of bodily fluids being extracted from a person since sophomore/junior year of college and it’s just as entertaining now as it was then; the only difference is that I have to clean it up.

Oh yeah and she smiles!
