My daughter smiled at me today and I cried

Mar 21 min read

She's 6 weeks old and I know the books say it's probably just gas but I'm telling myself it was a real smile directed at her old man. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. All the sleepless nights and stress and worry just melted away for a second. I'm completely wrapped around this little girl's finger already and I haven't even really gotten to know her yet. To any guys expecting a baby soon, just know that even when it's really hard and you feel completely out of your depth, there are these moments that make it all worth it. Anyway just wanted to share that.

Dude I had the exact same moment last month and I absolutely cried too. Whether it's gas or not doesn't matter because to her that smile means everything right now, and she knows her dad.

That's the stuff right there. I remember those early smiles with my kids and yeah, the gas thing is real but that connection you're feeling is what it's all about.

That's the real deal right there, forget what the books say. I'm at 6 weeks too and those moments hit different - you're not losing it, that's actually your kid connecting with you.
