Super Powers

This is the best time of my life, having a young family is the greatest! There are new things to experience each day, and each day out weighs the one before it. I am so glad to know what it is like to have a baby in the house. It is amazing to me how much she has changed in as little as six months. Having a baby has helped me to know my wife even better. Crista has a bond with each of the kids and seeing her with the baby is very special to me. They have a really deep connection, it seams at times they can read each other’s minds. Maybe this is a super power that father’s were not gifted with.

For instance, one night I got up to feed Isabel when she was still quite small, and I was quite new to the whole baby thing. This was before I figured out that you prep the formula before you pick up the baby. I had her in one arm and was trying to dip out formula into the bottle with the other.( To say the least babies are the least patient people when they are hungry.) During the kicking, I knocked the formula off the table, which made a loud thud as it hit the floor, which silenced the baby, and sent formula all over the place. All of this commotion was immediately followed by me cursing. (Here is where the mama ability of flight comes in to play.) Crista made no sound from the bed to the nursery, which is a distance of six to eight feet. She landed in the nursery to see the two of us looking equally disgusted, but she was so relieved to know that I ,in fact, had not dropped the baby. It amazed me that she could make that kind of distance in one leap and also being half asleep to boot. I can’t wait to see what other super powers mama has. If she starts juggling chainsaws, we are taking this show on the road.
