fatherhood

Hmm, I can feel it, the strain of being a father! But it simply does not compare to the joy and satisfaction I feel when I hold my son, Alexis in my arms. Its incredible that he loves to cuddle. He now shares the bed with his mum and me-we believe the bonding will be good for all of us.
It is yet early days, he is a little over two weeks but it is not difficult to see that he has a mind of his own.
He likes sucking on his fingers. When it began-the finger sucking, he didn't know which of the fingers to suck but now he sucks on two of the fingers on his right hand and dare you pull his hands out of his mouth. He yells as if the world is about falling!
Alexis just doesn't like being left alone. You could be in a room with him and not play he doesnt mind, but step out for five minutes, he goes ballistic.
People say he is really cute, but I get worried when the make an issue out of it or start comparing him with other kids born within the same time as him. I dont want to be vain about him and incur the wrath of God.
Every day when I look at him, I pray that God will bless the works of my hands so I can take care of him as he deserves. My Alexis!
