A Father's Love: No Fear with the Second Baby
Another great picture contest with ToothSoap- this time, one that I'm entering!
I was looking through pics of Hubs with our firstborn when he was a baby. And, in most of those pics, Hubs looks like he is afraid he is going to drop Monkey. There's a sweet awkwardness to the way he's holding the baby...and he's always looking at the camera.
But, when the second baby came along- Hubs was confident and adoring. You can tell in this pic, taken in the hospital with Bear, that Hubs had changed as a father. He was comfortable with this "Dad stuff" now.
You know, where he got to the point where he would do anything for his kids, even if it meant standing in line on a hot July day so that his oldest son could get a pic taken with June from Little Einsteins.
Or floating down a lazy river with his youngest son, when it would be so much more relaxing on his own.
All those little things that he does to show how much he loves our boys....makes me love him even more.
Shouldn't a father like that win this contest????
You can enter on these blogs....yeah, I'm being nice and telling you this, even though I want to win.
Btw, if you are here b/c it's Friday and you wanted to see who the newest BFF is- you'll have to wait until the morning! :)

Nice pics and post to your hubby!
I love seeing pic of Dad's with their kiddos. I love how these little people can turn big men all mushy!
My hubs definitely changed from first to second too! He was like psycho nutball overprotective with our oldest...with our youngest he is so much more laid back. Ya wanna climb up on the kitchen table? Sure why not!
I can't wait till the morning! I can't, I can't, I cant! :P
I love these photos :) You gotta <3 a daddy that loves his little ones!
So sweet! I never thought to look at the pics of Buddy when he was a newborn. But, you're right, my hubs was much more relaxed when Buster came along!
Sweet pictures! I love seeing new dads holding their babies. But you're right, they all have a sweet awkward look with the first.
All 3 are great!
Funny how first time Dads always are "afraid" of the baby! I actually have a family friend that wouldn't hold his baby girl till she was like 2 months old because he was so afraid of her soft spot!
Great pictures! Now I wanna go float down a lazy river!
My husband looked so funny holding our son for the first time, Now 10 months later, you would have thought he has been a Dadddy forever!!
LOVE your pics!!
Adorable! As cute as moms are with their kids, I think dads with their kids are just so sweet!
I like how proud he looks to be standing with the giant mascot.
This was a great post Shell, makes me think of my hubs. All though he was apprehensive to become a father for the first time he has always been a natural with the boys. Me not so much. He gives up all his extra time and spends it with them, doing what they want. I couldn't ask for a better father for my boys.
Lovely pictures, lovely post. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend celebrating Fathers Day.
So sweet!!
awww how sweet :)
I love the "river" picture...how sweet!
Awww, what a sweet post! Sounds like you have a great hubby who loves his kids. :)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my whining-about-WalMart post. Have a wonderful weekend.

That is a serious "awww" factor. What a fantastic picture.
What a cute pic of your hubs and son! I love the tubing pictures!!! What a great Dad!!! He should win the contest...I think!!! :)
Love this! The picture of him holding his little guy warmed my heart!
You are so lucky to have a man who is so incredible. I know you "know'... not saying everyday is easy... but how honored chicks like us are to still like our hubs after 3 or more kids!
What an awesome dad! You are right, the second time around is so much different!
I love that first one but I love your post even more.
