Smiling!

"There's no way to describe it."  "You won't know until you have your own."  "Nothing can prepare you for it."  Megan and I have heard these sorts of phrases on repeat from many people over the past multiple months.   They are all right.  Nothing can prepare you for having a child.  And nothing can prepare you for what a joy it is to witness little "firsts."  They are amazing.

Peter started smiling a few weeks (about 3 or 4) back.  He now smiles all the time.  His favorite time to smile is during his diaper change.  He loves getting his dipe changed  :)  And you wouldn't think you would be a beaming proud dad about such small things, but I just am and it's fun.  Here are some photos from about 3 weeks ago.  Peter was dressed up in his new jeans and a handsome black shirt so, I took him outside on our back porch to take some photos with a mixture of evening light bounced off of a brick wall and flash bounced off the porch ceiling.
