A dad's perspective on the first 6 months
I was going to write in the post below but got to thinking that I should just do up my own posting with some thoughts on the first 6 months of Evan's life.
First off, where the heck have the last 6 months gone. It just seems like such a blur when I think back to the first day that I got to meet Evan. 8:38 am on March 2nd, 2006 a day that I can picture so clearly when I close my eyes. It is a day that I think about a lot when things are going sideways or just in a wrong direction. Thinking of that day always seems to snap me back into reality and allows me to keep focused. Thinking of this amazing little guy and how much he means to me, I can honestly say (Erin is alright with me saying this) that he is the most important thing in the world to me. Nothing else compares to the love that I have for this little guy. Erin is a very close second and bikes are a close third. Holding Evan is probably the most incredible feeling I can have. I look into his eyes and wonder what he sees when he looks into my eyes. I love how when he sees me first thing in the morning or right when I get home from work, the smile that goes from ear to ear is magical.
The other thing that I think about a lot is how I said that this little guy would not change my life a lot. Well I was wrong on that one for sure. If you read above he has opened up a part of my heart that I did not think existed. To love something unconditionally is the most amazing feeling. I have also learned to be a lot more open to situations that are beyond my control. I hope that Erin is correct about Super Up-Chuck boy losing his powers as some days it is a lot to deal with but I guess it is a lot better than a crying baby all the time (sorry D & C). They say the opposite so we are all good. I know that the spit up is normal but man he does this normal thing a lot. I will be happy when that goes away. There was going to be more on this section but it will have to wait till later as we got very busy this weekend and I did not have time to finish telling my side of how things have changed (for the better).
Thank you Evan for allowing me to grow with you over the last 6 months and I just want to say that I love you with all my heart. Please do not think that I am a big dork for saying this when you are old enough to read and understand this. I just want you to know that you will always be loved by two very loving parents.
