Daniel Cody - “Left on the Lake”

Time is certainly flying by. Emerson is four weeks old today, which means that I’ve been in the fatherhood business four weeks as well!

All in all, it hasn’t been nearly as bad as I had heard about. Of course there’s been a change in how much sleep we get and changing diapers is getting to be an automatic procedure, but compared to some of the horror stories friends had told me about what we should expect, I think things are going very well so far.

And of course there are many many positives to fatherhood so far. Having a cooing baby to come home to is an instant stress reliever, and I’ve been having a good time buying her outfits at the mall. She’s also starting to get out of infant mode and interact with us more, which is a lot of fun as well to watch her expressions and realize just how much she’s changed in a short month.

I’m sure that before I know it there will be a post on the weblog about how she’s 4 months old, then 4 years, and how it seemed like just yesterday she was a tiny baby and the obligatory ‘they grow up so fast’ cliche, but man is she growing up fast!

By the way, for those of you who are only here for pictures, they’re being constantly posted to the baby picture gallery, so check there often for new pictures!
