Being a dad is fun.

I’ve noticed myself looking at my watch more and more these days. At work, out with my friends, wherever - constantly glancing at my watch. “Yup, it’s ten seconds later than it was ten seconds ago.”

I think it’s because I don’t want to miss a thing with Thalia. I really love her. I love seeing her smile, listening to her sing-song way of chanting da-da-da-da to me on the way to the sitter. There’s something so interesting, looking into her tired eyes as she grumpily screeches, fighting the natural urge to sleep.  See - she thinks she’s going to miss something, too.

We’ve had Thalia at home for over a year now, and it’s been the ultimate test. I won’t know if I passed until she’s grown, but I like to think I’m at least not screwing things up to the point of no return.

Jo’s been gently reminding me (to death) about our need to have Thalia’s one-year photos taken. I just wish I had a better camera; we could do this on our own! Anyone have a good, affordable photographer in the Indy area they can recommend?
