In what world do I have a two month old baby boy? THIS ONE. Rhys has so much personality now and it seems like each day he picks up new quirks that make me smile.
I took this photo for his two month milestone. Fun fact: I’ve taken a photo every day since January 2010 and this photo was the one that officially made it a decade-long project. Funny enough, this was perhaps one of the hardest photos of the whole decade for me to take, and I’ve pointed a camera at former guerilla soldiers, North Korea, and some terrifying baboons. But I didn’t have much time to take one of him in a better mood, so his two month portrait will be in monster-mode.
Contrary to the image, I often feel like we actually lucked out and got a pretty adaptable kid. He has moments like these, of course, but compared to what I hear from other parents, we could have it way worse.
This past month, we discovered that he’s a pretty good traveler. He was a champ on the road to Bakersfield for Christmas. He let us sit through services at church, movies at the drive-in, and office Christmas parties. He let us go on a date night for the first time since having him. When our house took some water damage and needed repairs, he was a gracious host while we slept on the floor of his nursery.
I’m loving the moments of being this kid’s dad. It’s been two months but I still can’t believe we get to have him in our lives.
