I guess a lot of people must think that I am the most obnoxiously proud father ever ... but honestly that is not the truth (I hope...if I am then I appologize). I mean yes I am pretty proud of my little girl, but it is more a sense of amazement that causes me to ramble on about her so much.
What she represents to me is an insight into parts of the world that were previously not even close to being on my Radar. She makes me laugh and smile and dream and worry and wonder about a world that in many ways did not exist last year. Colleen and I are enjoying the journey with our new little tour guide.
Often the ride includes stops to spend time with an ever increasing circle of friends. As Sequoia's group grows, so does ours. Here she is sharing a snack with her friend from Baby Class, Brooklyn.
Here she is holding hands with her new friend, Elayne, who is also a March baby. Also enjoying the play date is Jasper - yet another March baby.
Sometimes the journey involves finding new and exciting ways to travel - like being over six feet in the air. Other than ducking doors and looking out for ceiling fans this is a pretty fantastic way to fly.
No matter where the journey goes, it always revolves around mommy. There is something magical about the way the two of them play together. Either Sequoia is very advanced for her age or Colleen is just a big kid herself. I'll let you decide.
Possibly the thing I am best at is providing my little angel places to fall asleep on. I must be a pretty boring dad, but that's ok since I certainly love having her snoozing in my arms.

Leo, kids ARE amazing, especially when they are your own! I was equally thrilled with each new thing the six of you children learned when you were infants (and even when you were older) -- I'm so glad you are having this chance to experience Sequoia and her growing and developing....it's so much fun for everyone!
Love to all, Grandmom
