31 Weeks Old

If I'm not an ass, it's completely by accident.  My wife is mostly driving the parent train in this family. I'm not saying that I'm not doing anything.  But most of the time I'm willing to try whatever she wants.  Fortunately, my wife is brilliant and makes great choices when it comes to raising our daughter.
   But if things had been left up to me, our lives would be so completely different.  Because I'm the kind of person who will go along for the ride, I would have also been fine with a hospital birth.  I would never have heard of phrases like Baby Led Weaning, Elimination Communication or Co-sleeping.  I'd be spooning purees into my daughter's mouth, suffering through hour long cry-it-out sessions and Von Bebe would probably be in diapers until she's 15.  (Like she'll need another reason to hate me by then)
   And I would be less happy than I am now.
Here's my daughter growing up very fast showing us how she eats corn on the cob and jicama.
And here she is on her potty with C-3PeeO. (I couldn't resist)
I never would have thought of potty training VB so early.  Even if it's not actually 'potty training', at least she's getting used to the idea  and we're actually saving some diaper changes.
   So if I'm not an ass in fatherhood, I have mostly my wife to thank.
