Just wanted to post a pic of her in her bumbo. She's starting to like that more.

Good Stuff
So, I know by now while reading this blog, it seems that all I ever talk about is how sleepy and tired I am. I wanted to write a little about all the stuff I love so far being a new dad. I thought about it last night while holding my little girl. I never knew how much the smell of my baby would just make me feel comfortable and relaxed. There something about when I kiss her neck or head and I smell her right after a bath or just at the end of my work day.
It's hard to explain that smell. It's unlike any thing you have smelt before and it becomes familiar and calming. I also love when she smiles at me when she sees me. It could be because she thinks I'm funny looking, but I'd like to think it's because she is happy to see me. She's starting to hold on to things too. I love when I pick her up and she can now sort of wrap her arm around my neck. It's exciting to know that she'll only be able to do more as she gets older. Of course it's sad, because I know that as that happens, she'll never be this little any more.
So for now, I'll sit back and enjoy this small moments. All the smells and all the little things. It's a truly amazing experience to be a dad and nothing can compare to it. I hope that everyone that wants to experience this, can. Well, that's it for now. I'll post more later.

Animals
So, I thought that raising a child would be extremely hard. I could not imagine doing it with a toddler or another baby. But why is it that taking care of the pets you have becomes harder? I feel like we have been neglecting them recently with play time with them, but there isn't enough hours in the day to do that. And with that being said, it seems that they are "acting" out more. Isabelle decided last night that she would let me know she was lonely and starts to whine at 4a.m. I was so exhausted because I had just put Elle down to sleep for her 3a.m. feeding. Hopefully this won't happen again.
Elle is doing great now. I just got over a sickness, which kicked my butt for about a week. My wife is fighting it now and hopefully will be back to normal by this weekend. Elle is still a little sick as well, but she's always smiling through her coughs and such. I hope that her attitude towards sickness stays that way, but who knows. She's has her baby well check up on this Friday and I'll post her weight and length. I'm curious because I know she's grown because she's not fitting in any of her clothes anymore. It's time to move up to the 3-6 months finally :) Well, I'll post more later on Friday afternoon.

Sickness
So, I haven't put anything on here for the past while, but now the holidays are over and I should be able to update this more frequently. The past week, I have been sick. My little girl is sick too. That stinks, because that leaves mommy to fend for herself and take care of two sick pups. :) Hopefully I will be better by the weekend and Elle will too. Let's also hope that Casey stays well, and doesn't get sick her self.
Overall, Elle is doing great and I love being a Dad. She went through a little growth spurt and bundle that with a sickness, she was getting up about every hour on the hour throughout the night, which made it very difficult for me to get sleep. I'm on the night duty! But now, she seems to be feeling better for the most part and is pretty much sleeping from 7ish to about 2-3a.m. Gets up, I feed her, and then she goes back down to bed. Then I usually have to wake her up in the morning to take her to the babysitters. Well, I'll post another pictures soon and give a little more updates later.
