Waiting
Saturday, March 20, 2010 Baby Alessia, you're two months away from joining this nutty little family of ours. The past 7 months have flown by. As well as crawled. I think mom would agree with the latter. She's done all the heavy lifting. Me? I just peel her fruit and sing you songs.
Please keep in mind your dad has an old no-name guitar that won't stay in tune. He also has no real knowledge of the guitar, as he just figured most of this stuff out by trial and error. And finally, in the immortal words of William Hung, "I have no professional experience."
That said, this is for you, baby girl.

I am holding you responsible for the fact that my heart just burst.
That was too awesome...you are the coolest dad--to both Fury and the soon-to-be-here baby girl!
You win at daddy. That was awesome.
Tell that kid that her Auntie Mr Lady cannot wait to meet her!
Unrelated: Cut your f*ing hair already.
Very sweet.
Beautiful! So proud that I sang karaoke with you! ;)
I sang along with you. I love me some Tom Petty. What a great little gift to your baby girl, because I would have loved to have known what my dad looked/sounded like when I was born.
(And are we going a different direction with the 'do these days?)
I can identify. Although, we don't want our next one to be 6 weeks early like her little brother was. Especially since 6 weeks from Cindo de Mayo is pretty much right now, and we got shit to do.
Your daughter is already one lucky girl. Congratulations to your family.
awwww. my heart melted, too. =)
i can't wait till your baby girl is here!
I've never been a fan of Tom "Pelly" but I'll make an exception for this :)
(Dude, you're just trying to get more hits and lack-of-posting-forgiveness from your blog audience aren't you??)
Can't wait to be auntie again :) She's going to be spoiled rotten.....
Awesome, Jim. Just plain awesome.
A-freakin'-dorable, man.
Oh, the love of a child!
lmoa at Mr. Lady telling you to cut your hair already.
I liked it, and I really really HATE Tom Petty. That's supah-sweet. And she'll be very glad to have that someday.
(I'm a sucky mom that I don't do this for my girls - but I play Taylor Swift on the guitar for them, so I have to get some kinda points).
Awww that is soo sweet...
And I have to agree with Mr. Lady. Cut the hair. Me no likey the hair!!!
add me to the list of melted hearts. What a lucky lil' girl she is to have a daddy like you to welcome her into the world.
Look at you Mr. Rocker Daddy! She'll love seeing that someday. Very sweet.
It was either really awesome or I am just way too hormonal.
Oh dude. I just wanna give you a hug. What a daddy you are. I think we gots to get camping and strum some guitars around a campfire.
And for once I am disagreeing with that Mr. Lady chick. I think the Busy Dad hair project is looking quite cool.
:-)
OK dude, that just made me cry a little. That little baby is very lucky.
An Asian man with a guitar covering Tom Petty?
2010 is BLOWING MY MIND.
P.S. I like your hair. Let's not cut it and see where this goes.
Very nice. I think I hear Tom Petty saying "You guys are going to put me out of a job" right now. Waiting sucks.
That was really sweet! I can tell she's a very luck little girl. Congrats!
Sooo... you're trying to make me cry tonight? (I'm going to admit I got a little choked up at the badminton post, because I am THAT big of a geek for my kids and their ambitions.)
