Five Months as a Dad

She continues to grow and light up our lives with every smile.

For whatever reason, going from month three to five felt incredibly long. Almost longer than going from zero to three months. I think it's perhaps because life was a bit busier as we had more visits with family, doctor visits, holidays, and the like.

Our little girl is growing incredibly fast, something I'm sure every new parent says. Her gummy smile is what gets me. All it takes is just one of those and I'm filled up with love.

We are heading into the big holidays at the end of the year. More visits, a couple more doctor visits (including the big six months).

Almost a year ago, our nephews visited. The youngest was six months old at the time and I remember thinking that in a year, our child would be a similar age.

It's wild that we are now living that reality.
