lucabrasi999's Journal: Connor is now six months old

Not that anyone cares...but I do care, and it's my journal.

It is now 12:07am ET on January 30th, 2004. My son is now, officially, six months old. I never understood why people acted like idiots when it came to their children. Now that I have a child, I understand. Having a child is the greatest thing ever.

Tonight, I arrived home from my weekly business trip about 11pm ET (and, yes, travel for a living sucks big time). About 30 minutes after I came home, I was sitting at the computer, surfing the web and drinking a beer. My wife was sleeping in bed. I heard Connor crying (he woke up from his sleep). I ran upstairs and picked him up, so my wife could remain in bed--she spends four days a week alone with him, she needs a break. I brought him back downstairs and continued surfing. Connor just slept on my shoulder while I checked the news of the day.

Just holding my son while he sleeps makes me very, very happy. Yes, it's corny. But, I don't see my son four days a week. I must hold him as much as possible while I am home. Anyway, Happy Birthday, Connor. I love you very much.
