It feels like courting your mom over all again.Your crying and giggling were like the flashes of a relationship’s confrontations and reconciliations. How you learned. How you blossomed. In a few months time, you learned to laugh, you learned to giggle, gained head control, and just a couple of nights ago you roll from tummy to tummy. Maybe I was too assuming and confident when I said that we’ll be even better parents, investing all of our time. Maybe we are. In the best possible way, everything feels like it’s happening for the first time, as if we had no foreknowledge of things to come. Everything I know dissolves in the pure, innocent glare of your eyes. There’s much more to this world, you seem to say. It’s a lot more spectacular than you think, Dad.
It's been the best five months of our lives, V.
