People told me time would fly, and they were right. I don’t miss the days of the tiny newborn baby, which included sleepless night and scary days. Everything was so new and I was worried if I was going to have a mental breakdown. But now four months later, I am spending almost all day with Lily during the week as a stay at home dad. “Daddy Daycare” is in full effect since my wife has gone back to work. At first it was rough, she wasn’t taking the bottle and she didn’t want to nap for more then 20 minutes at a time. I’m a few weeks into it now and it’s not so bad, we take father daughter field trip everyday, long walks in the evening to tire the family out. She takes the bottle with no problems and she spends most of her time smiling at herself or laughing at me. She is a real joy to be around, and I’m not just saying that. She really is a happy go- lucky baby and I’m lucky she’s ours.

More Lily after the jump…
