Ah, there is nothing like fatherhood. I greatly underestimated the amount of sleep I would get but then again, isn't that how it always is. You know what gets you up front? The fact that they eat and sleep the first few weeks. Our son is amazing - not just because he's, well- our son - but he's really good. Not fussy as most babies can be.

He has his moments - and it's so hard. Nothing prepared me for the heart squeazing an hour or two of heavy, tired, cranky, upset wailing would do. I have gotten so incredibly angry and frustrated. Both at my son for not being able to figure out what's wrong and what I can do to help, but also for having such horrible, horrible feelings & thoughts in the first place.

But I love him - gods, do I love him. Every time I hear his adorable laugh or see his lips widen into the biggest grin, or have him rub his eyes against my shoulder in that....I'm tired but I can't quite get to sleep.... movement. He's my son.

Here are the latest pictures from the last month or so. We've obviously taken many more, but these are some of our favorite. Enjoy.
