I have to admit I didn't quite know how Stephen would be as a father: I had never seen him interact with any kids really, especially young ones; he doesn't like to get dirty (I envisioned diaper changing with rubber gloves!); he's not a physical person (could he hold Baby for hours?).
I can now tell you that I think he loves being a dad. He is very attentive to Alexandria and takes great delight in playing with her and laughing at her funny expressions and sleeping positions. He has changed his fair share of diapers - and without gloves! And Lexi gets plenty of kisses from Dad. He's anxious for her to grow up so she can have conversations with him and tell him what exactly she wants.
I am very glad that he is home with us all day (well, he does have things he has to go out and do). It makes it easier for me and he gets to experience all the joys and frustrations of figuring out our baby!

Sarah, you are indeed fortunate to have Stephen around so much! I found that I could handle feeding Paige, but someone had to feed me. And I was SO hungry during those first few weeks of nursing! It was like eating for two, only now the second party was taking way more than her share! So happy to see both of you with a bit of the parenting JOY!
