Unconditional Love

Kinsley, with a full tummy.

As I'm sitting in the living room late at night having just finished feeding Kinsley, and while every one else is asleep; one slows down enough to appreciate the bond between parent and child.

Transfixed on every breath she takes in the stillness of the night, one realizes that this little person is totally relying on you for everything in her life... and it is humbling. It makes you want to be a better person, someone worthy for such a monumental task. The question "how am I going to do this?!?" never crosses my mind; it never did with Harry either. You just do what ever needs to be done. 

Harry IV: "Do you know what you're doing?!?"

I won't lie, this time around has been much easier... and not because Harry IV was harder, it's just that we know what to do. I think there were many times when baby Harry instinctively knew we were out of our comfort zone in handling a newborn; he'd often look at us with that baby-furrowed brow of his as if to say: "You people have no clue do you?!?" Well, the good news is that we all survived and he is thriving at almost 4 years old. Wow.

I love you my little man.

I love you my beautiful baby girl.

I'm honored and so thankful to be your daddy. Thank you for that gift, and I will always try to live up to your expectations... but I'm still going to chew your butts when you need it. :)
