Little Baby Rizzo

It's truly amazing how much more attentive we've become to all things baby.  I can't help but notice every stroller I pass and observe each parent teaching and disciplining their children in public.  I watch children in the subway and in the streets and just imagine how much happiness our son is going to bring us.

I can't take credit for the following words, but I'll fully admit that they affect me in a totally new light now.  Bright Eyes songwriter Conor Oberst is probably talking about a female love of his...some girl that made his heart stop.  Now I can relate because Leslie has definitely given my life a new meaning, but these words now reflect how I envision seeing my son for the 1st time...

Your's is the first face that I saw (at the hospital nursery!)
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am
Don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

This is the first day of my life (Amen!)
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But, now I don't care, 
I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably (definitely!) be happy



Eventhough I haven't met you yet buddy, you mean more than anything else in this world.

Daddy
