Meet My Daddy

Jamee asked me to say a few words on his baby blog. He is the youngest Internet savvy person I have ever met and not even three weeks old!

The most memorable moment of my life was seeing Jamee enter this world. He arrived with a full head of hair. A beautiful baby boy! I had the honor of cutting his umbilical cord.

He had quite the impact from the moment he was born. While he was being moved from the birthing bed to the bassinet, he fired a stream of urine that nearly reached the ceiling before landing on the computer keyboard! I am waiting to see if a new keyboard will appear on the hospital bill!

I could not imagine how much pleasure there is in feeding him with Linda's pumped breast milk or changing his diapers. To see this little guy's unhappy face light up in contentment in a flash of a second is one of the most satisfying feelings to me.

Linda and I are so blessed! I now have a wallet full of pictures that I gladly show to anyone who asks and sometimes even a few who don't.

Jamee and I have spent our time together in a number of activities with sharing books at the top of the list. We have read many books including Where The Wild Things Are, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Going To Bed Book, Who Is Coming To Our House, Come Back Cat, and Good Night Moon to name a few. Jamee has been easily distracted since everything is new to his eyes. He does focus for a few moments at a time on the pictures as I read. It will seem like such a short time until he is reading himself...working his way through picture books, chapter books, through YA classics and through Salinger, Tolkien, Doyle, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald. We have also watched the Giants' football games on TV. Unfortunately Jamee will have to wait until next season to see the Giants actually win a game!

I look forward to each milestone in his life.
