I cried today

[GreenWagen]

For the first time in years I think. I'm not a very emotional person but this one got me good and I felt like sharing.


We were out to dinner with visiting family and my daughter (6 mo.) was getting fussy/sleepy and starting to scream, so took her outside to the car while everyone else finished up. I layed her down in the backseat so I could get a bottle ready and in the midst of her pouting/crying I distinctly hear "dada" a couple times for the first time. Abondoning the bottle, I scoop her up and then she just lays in my arms smiling at me until she faded off to sleep.

Never thought I could love someone so much.


Feel free to share so I don't feel like such a sissy man.

Wuss!

[Papa Dras]

Yeah, that is a private moment that I would only keep to myself and wife. How embarrassing.

You will be crying LOT more once she is a teenager.

My daughter is two, and when I heard her say dada for the first time, I cried also. More will come, trust me. its a wonderful feeling to cry by happiness then sadness/madness.

I was more stoked about the dada thing. It was the way she got all quiet and smiled at me for a good 5 mins while dozing off. Deadly combo right there.

I'm thinking about skipping those years. I've designed a cocoon.

[titleist1976]

My daughter pooped herself at that age so I took her out to the car to change her (one of the reasons why I now see why people buy hatches/wagons/suvs) because I had to change her in the back seat of our Accord. She was writhing around so much that when I finally got done, I picked her up and noticed she had rubbed off the cradle cap from her head with the seat belt. I nearly barfed. Poor thing.

The only thing that had to do with your story was taking her outside to calm her ass down. And I then remembered this incident. haha

[GreenWagen]

Speaking of poop, I could post a picture of a blow out from a couple weeks ago, but I probably shouldn't.

Unbelievable.

That's what I said, "dog cage in the basement"

You just wait buddy...you just wait.

Def remember this moment, it's special and you will never forget it. As hard as Infant stage is, it's probably one of the best/most memorable stages of parenthood.

I remember when I took my daughter to Barney concert, when he came out and I looked at her face >>>Instant tears (mind you, I hated barney, but as my daughter started liking him, so did I).

The first time my little girl (now 3) put her arms around my neck and squeezed made me tear up a little.

Awww.....

My daughter does that too but she's trying to sink a rear naked choke! From the little she's learned going to her brother's BJJ class on occasion.

Not what I was expecting to read.. Thats incredible thought man. Did you not cry at birth or anything? What made THAT get to you in two years?!

I don't know, just the totality of the situation I think. That time of the month, who knows.

I didn't cry at birth, I think I was still in shock at that time.

Ah, the things we do for our daughters.

Haha yup! After my daughter was born i was like yay were done. The doc looked at me and said not yet.

[8ac1v1c]

I remember the first time my daughter said "dada". Pure awesomeness and even better, I loved it when she started putting together sentences "dada hungry", "dada silly"

But now that she's 5 - i just Fcuking want her to shut up some times LOL

[bdubsmk4turbo]

DAMN I CANT WAIT TO HAVE KIDS, REALLY!!

[RENOG]

I kinda lost it when my first daughter was born.

[GreenWagen]

Just an update, she now says Dada dada dada dada whenever I walk into a room. Such a sweet little voice.

She still hasn't said mama definitively yet. I think my fiancee is a little jealous.

Jealous? Try pissed. But according to my speech pathologist friends, she's not saying dad, anyways... just forming sounds.

You shut your face!

You tell them to shut their whore mouths, because the sound she formed was---DAD!

[Papa Dras]

Gotta admit, watching my daughter let her terribly behaved and out of control cousin open some of her presents to stop him from crying (after he tore through all of his and threw them aside) almost had me there. She told all of us in the room that it's ok because she wants to share and not see him cry and that she already has a lot of things. ****in A, to hear that from a 4 year old when my own BIL and SIL don't know how to teach it was a proud moment.

My wife ended up taking control and correcting their boy, who for lack of a better word, freaked out by someone controlling him. I teared up a little when my wife told her sister in front of everyone to grow up and be a parent already.

1st time is great, wait til you hear her say it everyday, every hour, and every minute...

[GreenWagen]

Hasn't got old yet.

I know it's coming though. My six year old nephew bugs the ish out of me when he comes over.

true. My 4 year old has dad on repeat about every 20 seconds. I told her that she doesn't need to start everything she says with "dad".

Enjoy it now while you still can. My teen doesn't say daddy any longer...

[SICKVDUB1]

I remember the first time my little girl told me "papi" that was unreal, and then she followed with a huge hug and a kiss.

Fast forward to a few months later and she still gets me she started running towards me and just said papi papi that was a glorious moment.

[VdubChaos]

What's the opposite of all of the feelings you guys currently have for your little daughters?

That's what there is to come!
