Pressley is Our Blessing

It is hard to imagine how quickly three months have gone. It was three months ago that I held my baby girl for the first time. It was three months ago that she looked up at me as her father for the first time. It can't be three months since we saw that first adorable yawn, can it? It has been 13 weeks since I was able to see my beautiful wife hold my prescious daughter for the first time and have an enormous pride swell up in my chest. I can still remember those feelings as if it were yesterday.

It has been challenging learning how to become a parent for the first time but so rewarding! It is pretty funny to see what Haley and I will do to get a reaction out of Pressley. And everything seems to fade away when she "talks" to us, which is pretty often these days. There is no feeling in the world like having your daughter flash a huge smile when she sees you.

I just want to take one moment to say how much Haley means to me. She has given me the honor of being my wife for eight and a half years now and unbelievably, we've been together over thirteen years. I am so grateful that she has been my companion for these years - and now, the mother to my daughter. It is amazing how blessed I am!

So here we go - a brief history of how this little girl has changed our lives forever!
