Being a parent is to be excited once again, to find new joy in those experiences in life that have become common, mundane and forgotten. Things that had become annoying and troublesome to a calloused, cynical adult, like going to the community pool, are now, once again, just as exciting as when you were a kid because you get to see this little person that you love beyond anything you ever thought possible scream as loud as she can in the dressing room just to hear her own echo; splash herself in the face on accident; bob up and down in the water for the first time and love every minute of it, even go down the water slide,despite a tense look of uncertainty on her face, clinging tightly to dad's neck the entire way.
Even something as common as eating food becomes a new and funny experience.
Here is a video of Eva eating some cottage cheese:

It was a lot messier than it looks in the video.
Despite the contrary evidence in those photos (that sour look on her face), Eva really had a fun time going swimming for the first time.

Keep those pictures and videos coming. I love seeing them. Thanks
That's a cute swimsuite (can't remember how to spell that right now, haven't gotten a lot of sleep because of da puking) hopefully it's right
Michael said the following about the cottage cheese, "she has to take a bath again. she was dirty again...and then she taked a bath and then she was clean again. I have a bathtub at my house. Can we watch another video?"
