I had to link up with Toddle Along Tuesday this week because it's about Dads. We have had our share of up and downs when it comes to Rex and his relationship with his Daddy. The major down was when M was traveling for work and was gone 10 days at a time and then home for only 4 days. There relationship suffered some loss during this time. However, he's been home now for almost a year now and even had so recent weeks off from work that have allowed for this to change greatly.
This is the very first time he held Rex after he was born. He was so proud to have a son and somewhat relived that the ultrasound tech was wrong about him having a daughter. The thought terrifies him. When Rex was born he spent 8 days in the hospital and M made sure he was there the entire time. He finally had to start leaving during the day for work but was there every second he could be and even slept there with me every night.
Rex was under blue lights for jaundice for two months. We were finally able to have a test weekend without them so we took the advantage of heading out of town for some cabin camping with friends. M was so glad to be out and holding his son.
After that weekend Rex was never on the lights again so we were able to head out and explore. M loves planes so one of the first things he wanted to do was head to the airshow that was in town. They explored all the planes together.
That's when M had to start traveling for work for almost 9 months. He was actually able to make it home for Rex's birthday, 4th of July and all the other holiday's just by chance. Every time he was able to make it home we made sure to spend plenty of time together doing family things together.
M is such a great dad and does everything to make a great life for Rex, our new baby, and me. We try to make lots of family time and do fun things together so we can create great memories for Rex. I'm so lucky to have him in my life!

As Rex got older M loved taking him to the park by our house to play and do things that would terrify Mommy.
