Our little baby boy has been working on getting a smile out for a couple weeks now, and today he managed to pull off his first, bona-fide, I’m happy and not just pooping smile. It just so happens that we had the camera rolling at that moment – I had been thinking lately that I wish I could see what I looked like when I was a month old, so I grabbed the Panny P&S and started rolling, when he busted out with this:
I haz a happy!

I Haz A Happy! from Doug Boutwell on Vimeo.
Being a dad has been fucking awesome so far… takes a lot of time, but I swear it re-arranges your perspective on life. All that stuff that parents would say to me about how great it is and all that… it’s pretty much all true. Anyway – it’s a gratuitously cute and silly thing to post here, but it’s my blog and I’ll post stuff about my boy if I wanna :)

Never be ashamed at how much you love your children :)
And post as much as you possibly can of your kids, because you will forget all those little moments. I’m on my 3rd, and can’t remember for the life of me what our son was like as a baby.

AMEN TO THAT. What a sweetheart! I love to see and learn more about others through their blogs, whether professional or not. Life and our families make up who we are, and there is nothing better than to share it to the world sometimes!
