Dada I'm One

Real Dad Blog Version: When a child does something new, it makes this dad talk about it like a women. The feeling behind it is incredible.

My son is approaching the age of one. Each day it seems he learns something new. What I have heard from other dads and moms is it is going to be this way for the next few years. Every day there is new happiness when I see or hear Rylan do something new. It can be a word or an action.

Today he learned what an owl says. We tell him, “What does an Owl say?” He then goes “Ooo ooo.”

Rylan has learned a lot in the last couple of weeks that have became my favorite things to talk about with people. I guess you can call me a woman in that aspect. He claps and claps and claps and then claps again. It can be from hearing someone clap in the background to him getting buckled into his car seat. When he wants his hair brushed, he will brush his hair with his hand. He can throw a ball a couple of inches. He tries to throw it to me, his mom or the dog. He also likes to share what he has. The list can go on and on.

When you hear your son do something new, it actually does melt a dads heart. It is a rare experience. It is like the day he was born and marrying my wife. It feels that good. It puts a huge smile on my face.

My little boy is turning one. Guess what he has learned? Yep, he can do the one with his pointer finger.  Being a new dad is the best job in the world!
