Jumping into parenthood can be quite the adjustment (or so I’ve heard and seen). Sleepless nights with someone who can’t tell you their troubles can become quite the chore. While everyone experiences things at different levels, there is one resounding fact… your life, your sleep, your sanity is completely changed. Duncan and Shana are naturally goofy. They’re animated, loving, and naturally happy when they are around one another. Just a few of the many reasons is was pumped when this wedding couple of mine decided to invite me into their home to capture their new little guy. They are going to be the goofiest parents around. The ones that will probably embarrass their son at some point, but his friends will all want to play at his house. To give you a glimpse into their comedic view on parenthood, here are a few updates that dad has given on Facebook that keep me laughing.
-Things no one tells you about newborns:
They hate having clothes put on them.
They hate having clothes taken off of them.
They hate having clothes on.
They hate not having clothes on.
Clean diapers are the bane of their existence. The minute you put a new one on they’ll poop or pee in it. Because.
-It’s entirely possible I sleepwalked the dog.
-Ok, I swear this kid was staring me down. His eyes were doing the whole roaming around taking things in. Then they swiveled to look me straight in the eye and stayed there for a whole 30 seconds. I think this kid’ll be a bad ass.
-A Wedding and A Half Dozen (diaper) Funerals.
Dear diary, I will never look at pesto the same. I still like pesto. But I’ll never look at it as the innocent pasta topping it once was.
Jamie, you did a wonderful job again! Thank you for taking ordinary moments of my son, daughter-in-law, and wee Franklin, and making them magical.
