Ever since our family of two became a family of three, I've fallen even deeper in love with my husband. There is something so special about navigating the choppy waters of parenthood with the love of your life by your side. The way Colin looks at his daddy tells me that he loves him just as much as I do, too. It's so sweet. Whenever Colin is fussy, Daddy scoops him up and takes him into the nursery, where he'll point out all the sea creatures on the walls. He'll point at the whale and say, "Look at Mr. Whale! Want to touch him? Say, 'Hi, Mr. Whale!'" Colin reaches his chubby little hand out and touches the whale, and he smiles at his daddy.
I knew Justin would be a great father from the time we were expecting our little guy. He would rub my belly and talk to our baby, telling him of all the things we had planned for him and letting him know how much we loved him and wanted to hold him. After Colin was born, Justin's fatherly instincts were always right on. Together, we dealt with his jaundice, breastfeeding issues and eventually the switch to formula, silent reflux, eczema, and sleepless nights. Together, we fell more in love with our baby boy and with each other. Sure, it hasn't always been easy, but it has been totally worth it and I think parenthood has made us better people.
Sweetheart, I love you so much. Thank you for being such a great husband and father. I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us and our little family.
