Happy Father's Day

Well, I got to have my first father's day today and it was awesome.  Amelia's parents were in town so I got to share the day with her father.  My day started at 5 AM when I woke up and saw that Amelia was still trying to get Maria to go to sleep after her 3 AM feeding.  I grabbed Maria and we rocked for 30 minutes.  Amelia has already done most of the work in getting our little girl tuckered out, so she was out after the rocking.
I got up at 8 AM.  There were some provisions that were needed to construct my father's day brunch.  I decided I wanted chocolate chip waffles, link sausages and an egg sunny side up.  While I was at the store, I also picked up some strawberry syrup.  For some reason, when I thought of the chocolate chip waffles, I was reminded of IHOP and my favorite flavor of syrup at the IHOP is strawberry.
Amelia cooked an delicious brunch.  I did not get my egg sunny side up.  She says she forgot, but I think she just thinks it is really gross. Honestly, I didn't mind because there was more than enough of everything else.

I got an awesome Kodak LCD picture frame.  Now, I can circulate through pictures of Maria at work.  Whenever I look at her picture up at work, I am reminded of the Simpson's episode where Homer keeps a picture of Maggie at work to remind him of why he is at work in the first place.

Maria and I were supposed to go  to an ice cream social that is held for fathers by the neighborhood association.  Maria had a very cute little dress on, just before we were set to go I decided to change her diaper.  Rookie mistake. Of course she decided to take a wee while I had her diaper off.  The dress was soaked.  By the time we got her changed she was getting hungry.  We didn't ever make it to the ice cream social, but I didn't mind because Maria fell asleep in my arms.

I decided my father's day activity would be to watch the Casino Royale blue ray that I have had checked out from Netflix for 2 months.  Maria slept through the entire movie.
Amelia grilled some chicken and I went and picked some weeds out of the veggie garden.  We just transferred Maria into her "I heart Dad" jammies.  This was a really great day.

Everyone should be as lucky as I am. I have such a great wife and cute baby.
