And that's exactly what we did. Your mom had a basketball game at Lake Erie College up near Cleveland so for the most part, it was a Daddy-Daughter day. We chilled, we played, we did laundry and ran around.
Our errands included a run to Sears to see if our family portraits had arrived. To our surprise, they did.
You're a ham for the camera and we love it!
But, the one thing I want to take from today isn't the fact that I made a rookie dad mistake by leaving the diaper bag at the house, nor that you took a nap on my chest this afternoon (I have adored those naps since the day we brought you home).
There's not too much about you that I don't adore. Just read previous entries, you'll see. Maybe on a slow day I'll use this journal to rehash how much our naps mean to me.
What I want to tell you is a bit of a continuation from yesterday. Time is seemingly flying. I know you're only six months old and you'll be my little girl forever, but can we please slow father time down a bit? Your mom and I have created a "clock" in your room and today it struck six. Halfway around. After you were born we purchased a large 16x20 inch canvas print of one of your birth photos. It hangs above your crib and each month we add a photo, similar to the numbers on a timepiece.
Part of our errands today included a run to Walgreens. I needed to pick up a few prints that I had ordered - your five and six month photos.
When we began charting your growth through these photos a year seemed a long way off. In no time at all the gap has closed.
As much as I look forward to taking you on walks, to the park, throwing a ball, I'm doing everything I can to not blink.
