    Well Sunday was my first Father’s Day as a father and I just thought I would share with my friends here on IDO with some recent pics.

    Walleybrat and I were blessed with our first child about 4 months ago. BBShot(Patrick) came in to the world on 2/25.

    Before he was born everyone was telling me how amazing it is to be a parent….it was really hard to comprehend when you aren’t actually a parent yet. Now that I am….all I can say is…they were right!!! It is the most incredible thing.

    I was looking at some pictures and I couldn’t believe how fast my little buddy is growing and changing. About 3 weeks ago or so he started giggling….what an addicting sound that is…the first time I heard it I was completely blown away…now I can’t wait to make him giggle every chance I get.

    Just to show how fast they grow the first pic was from when we were still in the hospital just after he was born….the other 2 are from this month.

    We haven’t been in the boat yet but he has already done a couple car shows with us….he loves riding in any car and at the shows he really likes to see all the bright colors, activity and people.

    I just hope when we finally get him out in the boat he loves that as much as I do!!

    Oh just wait… It’s really cute when they cross their arms and stomp out of the room. I’m usually in hot pursuit with hand at the ready to swat the butt. Ya, they ain’t always real charming, but it’s hard to beat unconditional love.

    That is one cute little guy!!!! I’m betting he will pick up on your love of the water and it will take off from there. Enjoy every minute because they grow up way too fast!

    Thanks for sharing! I love when I get flashbacks of my two daughters as infants. All those “firsts” are so special in so many ways. First time laying on the couch and having them snore while sleeping on my chest, first words, first time they hug you and say I love you Daddy, the first time they ask for money …and oh yea, most recent, “my boyfriend is coming over, so be nice and don’t kill him”

    Buckshot –

    The incredible thing I have found is that even though you are amazed at how much better it is on a daily basis…….it just keeps on getting better as they develop! It is like seeing the world all over again through a new set of eyes. My 3 yr old causes me to stop and watch the jets vapor trials in the sky, be amazed at the moon, ponder why fish are slimy, etc……

    Congrats and thanks for sharing.
