New Dad

[Pandora]

Hey Sam,

You'll be a pro in no time!

CONGRATULATIONS

 

[CoastieWife86]

Congratulations! I have a 9 month old son, so feel free to PM me any questions you have. Like someone else said, you cannot hold them too much at this age.Not until 6 or 7 months or so... Enjoy every day, because they change so much day to day.

Just a general reply - the reason I've been gone from the boards is, I've been in Russia for the past month adopting a two year old boy. He's napping now, and I will stay home for a month to play with him and get to know him and help him transition.

One thing we've learned is he flourishes so well when he is with other children - I'm hoping to set up play dates with other children, because he learns better with them than on his own or even with me.

From birth until around 5 years old is going to be the best times of your life.
enjoy it. after that, the child will know more than you and have no problem pointing this fact out.

I'm sure having a child who knows more than Mom or Dad is the wish of every parent.

I've repeatedly stated I have but two wishes for him - that he grows up to be a good person and is happy.

he grows up to be a good person and is happy.

Amen.

That's wonderful! If you don't mind and find the time, I'd love to hear the abridged version of the processes you went through with the adoption. Enjoy your time at home with him!

Congratulations! Just remember, as much as they try you, there is nothing like a wet slobery kiss and sticky fingers to make you smile at the end of a long day.

Being blessed with a new child through adoption is amazing and beautiful…the way new parents and new child come together to recreate the picture of family...it is breathtaking joy and excitement as parent and child get to know one another, and the sweetest of loves starts to grow and bloom.

Must have been you that gave my husband that info. Anytime I ask him to change the baby at a store he always says there isn't a changing table. Next time I'm calling BS and sending him in.

Thanks!

 

[Chasey_Lane]

Congratulation's on the little one!!

Oops, I had to read a little farther. Congrat's on the adoption!!

Buy earplugs.

Get used to the sentence: "Hey daddy!"

He's napping now

Enjoy these moments.
