Mother's are INCREDIBLE!

When I first got the idea for this blog I promised myself that it would be purely from the Man/Father's prospective.  The problem is that I had no idea how much further I would fall in love with the woman whose given me everything.

I've said it once and I will say it a million times, "the love a mother has for her son is the greatest love the world has and will ever see."  My beautiful wife loves our son so much that it just brings me to tears to write this blog.  Sometimes I just want to sit back and watch her with him, how she looks in his eyes, kisses and holds him close.  I know I am a sucker for love stories, but marrying Amy Shatsoff was the greatest move I've ever made.  Everyone knows how wild our love is for each other and most don't want me to talk about the games we play :).  What is new to me and to the world is how my boy is feeding, learning, and cherishing the warmth of his mother's embrace.  If you are out there, reading this, and you don't cherish your woman...shame on you!  My wife is my unicorn and until the day that I die, no soul will ever bring her harm, because that is what Men do...We protect our women.

Speaking of Men, how about this little 2 month old that is growing like a weed under the strict tutelage of his handsome father?

I'm positive that all of you realize that my parenting skills won't always be considered textbook, but I will tell you that this young man has quickly become my most loyal Man friend.  He's always there for me at 3am when I need to be woken up, and for that I can't thank him enough.  He's also very good at washing my hands with that pure infant urine that is just so good for the skin.  Walter is a very generous individual when it comes to the folks who care about him most.  He cries on any shoulder that will have him, he farts in any arms that will hold him, he burps on all the ladies, but when he looks in his Dad's eyes with those big blues the world just seems to stop.  Being a father has been a dream of mine since I met my Queen, and now that she has delivered this gem it's been nothing but smiles.

This blog started about my wife and it will end by giving a shout out to both her and the men and women who work with and for her.  Walter has had the pleasure of being held by some of the brightest minds in American and I truly believe that he feeds off their knowledge.  What is amazing to me is that my wife is so loved by all of them, and in turn I am loved by all of them.  So this toast is to you my friends at the ISU...Walter loves you and my wife misses you!!

I'm just so blessed...

All my love and more,
Christopher
