I know I'm a father because...

Okay...so my daughter Emerson is now 16 weeks old and things have starting happening in my life that verify my role as a father. So here are a list of the things that affirm my fatherhood status:

- I have a pacifier in my jacket at all times.
- I also don't mind sucking on the pacifier in my jacket when it needs washing.
- I get calls from people who drive by my house and see me dancing in the window. It's during these phone calls that I tell them that I am singing and dancing for my daughter, for entertainment purposes only.
- I spend more time combing her hair then I do my own.
- After weeks of getting her to do a 'raspberry' with her tongue, at random times throughout the day, NOT around my daughter, I find myself doing 'raspberries' to no one.
- Pink is now a cool color, although I still won't wear it.
- The word "Poopie" is now used for exciting times, rather than challenging times.
- The word "Grumpy-Pants" is now a frequent word in my vocabulary.
- My goal each and every day is to make my daughter laugh.

These are just a few things, I'm sure I'll have more to share at another time. Enjoy!
