Hard to believe I've been a Dad for a year

[vi edit]

A year ago this weekend we were brining home our daughter who weighed in at 5 pounds soaking wet and born 5 weeks before she was due.

This past week we celebrated her 1 year birthday. She's now a fiesty 24 pounds of drooling, babbling, energy.

I can barely remember the delivery and the first few months home with her. Since having her my life has been a blur. I always thought people were joking that if you blinked you miss them grow up. But it's true.

:heart:

They blink constantly, hoping that you will grow up.

My mom has empty-nester syndrome. I'm the youngest and I started college in Fall. She talks about my brothers and I more than ever now.

I think I started posting in the BB days in '97 or so. That's 12 years. That's almost older some AT members.

Much more so when your working two full time jobs as i was with our first kid. I practically missed the first two years of her growing up. Now i just have pt job on the side, and have been watching our second grow up (she turned one in september) and it's been amazing.

cute kiddo :thumbsup:

24 lbs? Wow, our daughter (2 years, 4 months) weighs that much...I guess she really is a peanut! The time does fly, enjoy it while you can.

My first is on the way in June.

The wife and I were at Babies R Us this weekend doing baby registry stuff and it was really hitting me hard that "holy shit I'm about to be a dad!!!!OMGGOMGOMGOMG!!!!"

Kind of a mini freak out moment I think.

Whew.

But I think when the time comes I"ll be so busy and consumed with the day to day that it'll fly right by.

One of my nephews and his wife has an 8 month old baby girl. They came to visit at Christmas from 11 hours away. Until they brought her over I wasnt necessarily crazy about babies with all the crying and poopy diapers. But she was the cutest thing ever and when they left, I missed her.

Anyway, cute baby!

Congrats. My little girl turns 1 on Feb 25, so I'll get to make this thread then too.

My son (17 in 2 days) keeps mentioning joining AT... But he has a girlfriend and is training for triathlon so he's been too busy to do it. hehe

Actually she just had her 1 year checkup today. She's a little under 22 pounds. We were having troubles weighing her on the scale at home. That's still not too bad considering she was under 5 pounds at birth. She's 50th percentile in both height and weight. She's had horrible reflux since birth that made eating a major issue, so we're glad she's as much as she is. Only in the last few weeks has she really started eating well.

She's gorgeous. Don't make the same mistake I made. Fight for your right to be more mother like. Seriously . I know how that might sound. But I mean only good. Know her nature and feed it. Now that I am grand pa . I see my error.

our twins hit 7 months a few days ago. At 6mo. they were 18 & 16lbs. It's such a line to say they grow so fast but it's so true.

Every third week my wife does 4-5 days in a row (Thu-Monday) of second shifts. So on those days I am the sole provider for 5-8 hours. I actually spend more time with her one-on-one than my wife does.

Dude, wait until she turns 6. My son has so much energy he could power a small city for a week I think. :laugh:
