6 weeks in and things are getting easier

We're at the point where my daughter is smiling and following us with her eyes and honestly it makes all the sleepless nights worth it. She recognized my voice yesterday and I swear I almost cried. The first month was brutal but I'm actually starting to feel like I know what I'm doing now. Still terrified half the time but less terrified. My advice to new dads: it gets better.

The eye tracking is wild, right? One day they're just staring through you and the next they're actually seeing you. These moments remind you why you're running on zero sleep.

This is the best part. Wait until she laughs for the first time - you'll be chasing that dragon trying to make it happen again. Enjoy these weeks, they go fast.

Congrats man, those early smiles are game changers. My daughter is 8 weeks and I swear I check on her constantly just to see if she'll do it again. Those little moments make all the sleep deprivation worth it.
